OnSubmit Client Script - Force Mandatory

jstocton · ‎09-20-2018

I have the following use case:

On the change_task form, the close_notes will be mandatory OnSubmit -- IF -- the business_service field on the parent change_request STARTSWITH SAP(space).

I was going to do this as a UI Policy, but there is no way to make the field mandatory on change or on submit. I am really perplexed and have not seen any good examples of how to get to the parent change record and validate the contents of a field. I know this is simple but just can't seem to make it work.

So in that case you can do something like this:

1. Create a Display business rule and capture the value of business service in g_scratchpad variable. Your BR would like this.

Display BR

Script:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

var ciName = current.parent.cmdb_ci.getDisplayValue(); //change cmb_ci to your Business service Name
g_scratchpad.ciName = ciName;

})(current, previous);

2. Use the scratchpad value in your OnSubmit Client Script:

function onSubmit() {
alert(g_scratchpad.ciName);
var str = g_scratchpad.ciName;
if(str.substring(0,4) == 'bond'){ //change bond to 'SAP '
alert('Cannot happen');
g_form.setMandatory('description',true); // replace description with your required field value
return false;
}
}
