Unable to hide sections using setSectionDisplay()

[ssoniy]

Requirement was to hide sections based on role 'xyz' & 'assigned_to' is the current user.

I wrote display business rule to validate above condition and saved in scratchpad as below:

if ((gs.getUserID() == current.assigned_to) || (gs.hasRole('xyz')) ) {
g_scratchpad.user = true;

}
else {
g_scratchpaduser = false;
}

And called in the onload client script as below:

if (g_scratchpad.user == 'false') {
g_form.setMandatory('mandatory', false);   // tried using this to remove all mandatory fields on all sections
g_form.setSectionDisplay('section1', false );
g_form.setSectionDisplay('section2', false);
g_form.setSectionDisplay('section3', false);
g_form.setSectionDisplay('section4', false);
g_form.setSectionDisplay('section5', false);
} else {
g_form.setSectionDisplay('section1', true);
 g_form.setSectionDisplay('section2', true);
g_form.setSectionDisplay('section3', true);
g_form.setSectionDisplay('section4', true);
g_form.setSectionDisplay('section5', true);
 }

setSectionDisplay() not working .. also tried setDisplay() not working. 

Verified section names ex: section_detail all correct. Please correct me anywhere i have done any mistake?

Hi @ssoniy ,

As per your script provided in else part scratchpad is not properly set. Please check that once and see if it works fine.

I also tried adding - else if (g_scratchpad.user == 'true'{

alert('dont hide for me');

g_form.setSectionDisplay('section1', true);
 g_form.setSectionDisplay('section2', true);
g_form.setSectionDisplay('section3', true);
g_form.setSectionDisplay('section4', true);
g_form.setSectionDisplay('section5', true);
 } 

not working. when I put an alert and check, I'm able to get the alert properly.

Hi,

Change this line

g_scratchpaduser = false;

to

g_scratchpad.user = false;

[ssoniy]

sorry it was typo error, g_scratchpad.user = false;
