Hi @Kruthik M Shiva 

Did it come to the IF Condition with the alert?

We need to check what was this function return in your test case. => CheckingRetired

[Kruthik M Shiva]

It is returning true in our case.
var CheckRetired = Class.create();
CheckRetired.prototype = Object.extendsObject(global.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
CheckingRetired:function(){
var found;
var ianame = this.getParameter("sysparm_ia_name");
var dup = new GlideRecord('x_infte_ia');
dup.addQuery('asset_name', ianame);
dup.query();
if(dup.next()){
if(dup.status==6){

found = 'true';
}
else{

found = 'false';
}
}
return found;
},

type: 'CheckRetired'
});

Hi @Kruthik M Shiva 

Add one more line "return false" to the bottom of the client script. It should work

function onSubmit() {

    /*** Pop this gem into your script! */
    if (g_scratchpad.isFormValid) {
        return true;
    }
    var actionName = g_form.getActionName();

    var ga = new GlideAjax('x_intellectu.CheckRetired');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'CheckingRetired');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_ia_name', g_form.getValue('ia_name'));
    ga.getXML(RetiredCheck);

    function RetiredCheck(response) {
        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
        if (answer == 'true') {
            alert('This is retired');
            return false;
        }
        /*** Pop this gem into your script! */
        g_scratchpad.isFormValid = true;
        g_form.submit(actionName);
    }
	/*** Pop this gem into your script! */
	return false;
}

Cheers,

Hi Jaspal,
Please find below script the alert is coming when clicked on submit but once click on ok on that popup the form is getting submitted.

function onSubmit() {

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

        var ga = new GlideAjax('x_intellectu.CheckRetired');

        ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'CheckingRetired');

        ga.addParam('sysparm_ia_name', g_form.getValue('ia_name'));

      ga.getXML(RetiredCheck);

        function RetiredCheck(response) {

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

            if (answer == 'true') {

                alert('This is retired');

                return false;

            }

        }
