URL Field Readonly

[bishalsharm]

Hi,

Not able to make a particular URL type field read-only or editable based on role or group validation.

here is the script:

Business Rule (Display)

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    g_scratchpad.userRole = gs.hasRole('xxxx');
    g_scratchpad.userGroup = gs.getUser().isMemberOf('xxxx');

    gs.info("Role: " + g_scratchpad.userRole);
    gs.info("Group is: " + g_scratchpad.userGroup);

})(current, previous)

 Client Script (onload)

function onLoad() {
     var userR = g_scratchpad.userRole;
    var userG = g_scratchpad.userGroup;
    if (userR == 'true' || userG == 'true') {
        g_form.setReadOnly('xxxx', false);
		g_form.setMandatory('xxxx', true);
    } else {
        g_form.setReadOnly('xxxx', true);
    }

}

problem: Even though the logged in user has either role or group but the URL type field is not showing as editable.

I accidently accpeted your solution, though i update the client script but no luck

[bishalsharm]

this update didn't work for me
also, the client script is for a custom view 
i have mentioned the view name as well by unchecking the global checkbox and entered the view name

@bishalsharm 

did you add alert and debug?

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

[bishalsharm]

yes i added the alert and alerts are positively showing that the user is the member of the group but still the url type field is not editable

It may be that the client script is running faster than the timing at which values are assigned to g_scratchpad.

Why not check the value of g_scratchpad that can be obtained by the client script?

Otherwise, it may be a good idea to use GlideAjax for processing.
Simply create a client callable Script include and respond whether it matches the conditions.
