On load Client script working on On change client script

[sushma123vu]

My on-change script is working for on load also. I have tried below code to avoid that 

if(isLoading){

return;

}

and also tried this

if (isLoading || newValue === '') {

        return;

   }

but yet it's not working.

Usually, my On change script is clearing the value when it doesn't satisfy certain condition. But this is being executed even onload. I don't want this to happen. Please help on this!

@sushma123vu  Could you please share your complete script? I assume the problem would be because of having both "Else" and "newValue === ' ' ".

Hi Sujatha and Timi, 

Below is the script

 if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

        return;

    }

var id1 = g_form.getValue('dummy1');

        var id2 = g_form.getValue('dummy2');

        var ga = new GlideAjax('script inlcude name');

        ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'function name');

        ga.addParam('sysparm_pgmId', id1);

        ga.addParam('sysparm_pgmServId', id2);

        ga.getXML(getResponse);

function getResponse(response) {

        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

        if (answer != 'false') {

           g_form.setValue('product_name', answer);

                    }

         else {

            g_form.clearValue('product_name');

         }

I am setting value for the product name as "not valid"  if any of id1/id2 description is having as security, else I will just clear off the value.

So this is being executing on load also, if the id1/id2 is not satisfying the condition its just clearing off the value.

Note: we are setting the values of all variables from on load so maybe that is triggering the on change not sure. But finally I dont want this code to execute on load.

    }

@sushma123vu  Why don't you combine onLoad script into onChange script itself for setting the values as below, 

Kindly try with one script and check. 

if (isLoading) {

        g_form.setValue(<variable>, <value>;

 }

var id1 = g_form.getValue('dummy1');

        var id2 = g_form.getValue('dummy2');

        var ga = new GlideAjax('script inlcude name');

        ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'function name');

        ga.addParam('sysparm_pgmId', id1);

        ga.addParam('sysparm_pgmServId', id2);

        ga.getXML(getResponse);

function getResponse(response) {

        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

        if (answer != 'false') {

           g_form.setValue('product_name', answer);

                    }

         else {

            g_form.clearValue('product_name');

         }

Hi @sushma123vu 

Let's double-check that if you have the isLoading variable as function parameters in your client script?
