showFieldMsg duplicates in my client script when I use hideFieldMsg and then show it again

[abrahams]

I am tying to use showFieldMsg in my Service Catalog client script. I like the look of the g_form.showFieldMsg('field_name') however if I show it when the user makes an error ... then hide it using g_form.hideFieldMsg('field_name') when they make the correct entry ... then for what ever reason they make another error on that same field (they must be having a bad day) it will now show 2 error messages when I user g_form.showFieldMsg('field_name') to display the error to them again. I would like to use this instead of the javascript alert if I could stop the showFieldMsg messages from multiplying. Does anyone know if this is possible?

You can use the fieldMsg but you need to remember to hide it every single time before you invoke the 'show' function.

I do hide it once I no longer need it however .... each time you go through that process of hiding and displaying the message duplicates.

It should work. Maybe if you post your script here I could see if there's something that could be fixed.

This is the portion of the code that uses the showFieldMsg/hideFieldMsg, This is my last attempt. I initially used hideFieldMsg('TypeOfChange'). There is more to this code. The rest of the code has nothing to do with the field message so I didn't think you would be interested in seeing it. I put the ending } in just in case you wanted to try it. This is a service catalog item if that makes a difference. Thank you for your help on this.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (!isLoading) {
var comp = g_form.getValue('CompanyName');
var dep = g_form.getValue('Department');
var jt = g_form.getValue('JobTitle');
var t = g_form.getValue('TypeOfChange');
if (t != '') {
if (comp == '' || dep == '' || jt == '') {
g_form.setValue('TypeOfChange','');
g_form.showFieldMsg('TypeOfChange','Company, Department and Job Title are required prior to selecting response for Type of Change','error',false);
}
else {
// Display available applications
g_form.hideFieldMsg('clearAll');
}
}
}
