Populate a new field with Requested for value

[Mallika Bhupath]

Hi all,

I have a requirement to populate a field - "User for whom a new signature is being requested" with the same value that is on the "Requested For" field. 

Can someone please help me with the script. 

Also, I have to make the field "User for whom a new signature is being requested" read only and I have used a UI Policy. However, it doesn't seem to be working correctly.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mallika

Hi @Juhi Poddar ,

So when I login, the Requested for is populated by my name. But this is not populating "User for whom new signature is being requested".
 If I'm changing the requested for from my name, then the script is working correctly. 
I will need to account for both the scenarios. Because most of the times logged in user is only the Requested for user.

Hello @Mallika Bhupath 

In addition to my previous answer:

• This is because an onChange client script is in action. 
• To auto-populate the requested_for field with logged in user an onload client script is required.
• If requested_for field is already populating correctly then look for onload catalog Client script and add a code in it:

g_form.setValue("user_for_whom_a_new_signature_is_being_requested",'requested_for');

Note: Add this line after the requested_for field is set.

Hi @Juhi Poddar ,

I would also need to account for logged in user (for the most part the logged in user is only the Requested for).

Any modification to the script?
