on submit client script is not working

[chandan2212]

Hi All, 

onsubmit client script is not working 

function onSubmit() {
  var gr = g_form.getValue('action');
  
  if (gr === 'sharing') {
    alert('Chandan Patra');
    return false; // Prevents form submission
  }

  return true; // Allows form submission
}

 Thanks and Regards,

Chandan

Avoid using gr as variable.

what is action here, is it a field name?

Remove return=true; there is no need for that statement.

are you comparing correct value for action in your IF

@chandan2212 ,

onSubmit client script like yours, may not run (or its return false may be ignored) if there's another conflicting onSubmit script, UI policy, or asynchronous logic (such as a GlideAjax call) that causes the form to bypass or override the client script, so check whether, another onSubmit client script exists....then script UI Type is set correctly (Desktop / All) and after that check you’re not using asynchronous calls inside onSubmit (which would allow the form to submit before the callback runs)........
