Setting a field mandatory in Onload client script

[samadam]

I have a n onload client script where I am checking the state and setting a field mandatory but it is not working. There are no UI policies on this field. I dont even get the alert in the beginning of the script I added.

var st = g_form.getValue('u_state');

    alert(st);

  if (st == 'Draft'){

        g_form.setMandatory('u_ship', true);

  }

@samadam If you need to make field mandatory on the state change, then you need to create an onChange script on the State field. onLoad script only gets called when the form loads whereas the onChange script gets called whenever there is a change in the value of a specific field.

Hope this helps.

Figured it out, There was a premature closure of a ")" which caused it. Once I fixed that it started working. Thank you. I am surprised how the script saved successfully.
