save as draft functionality not working as expected in catalog item

[sln]

When a catalog request is saved as draft, on the draft record few conditionally dependent variables are hidden even when they are made visible on normal request form and few variable values are cleared. Please let me know if this can be solved without disturbing existing scripts.

Hi @tejaswinisa 

No mate, no solution for this 😞

Hi @Dr Atul G- LNG , do you have any idea on how to achieve this by modifying the existing client scripts. Thanks.

Hi @sln 

No mate, the only solution I can think of is applying a client script on the field to display a message warning the user to avoid saving in draft. Otherwise, they’ll have to fill in the variable values again. It’s just a workaround.

@sln 

when the saved version is opened you can ensure your catalog UI policy or catalog client scripts doesn't run in that mode

It runs only in normal mode

In your onLoad client script you can check the browser URL contains edit=draft

if yes then don't run your client script -> this ensures your variables are intact
