prevent catalog item submission based on value of variable in form

[mhunter]

Hello,

I am trying to set up a catalog UI policy to prevent users from submitting a request for a new phone number if they do not have a physical phone yet.

this is the solution I've come up with so far, however, the requests are still being submitted

function onSubmit() {

    var phone = g_form.getValue('physical_phone');

    if (phone == 'No') {

        alert(getMessage('A physical phone is needed before requesting a new phone number'));

        return false;

    }

}

Why are you trying to do this in a UI policy instead of doing this in an onSubmit client script? The onSubmit client script would be looking for true or false, while the UI action doesn't know what to do with the true or false.
