Need to display the variable in catalog form

[suuriyas]

HI Community,

I have a requirement, in catalog form we have a variable called software (reference to software install table) and price variable (single line). in software install table there is field called Licence Type 

When user selects any software in software variable and its licence type is licensed then show the price variable in form if not do not show this.

Please provide me the catalog client script and script include.

It's an empty string variable that you want to show? I am not sure what the use will be, but you can easily get it there by adding a hidden (choice) variable that you let autofill on software selection (option on the variable form no need for scripting). You can then use a catalog ui policy or client script on the price field to show if that hidden field is 'licensed'.

HI @Mark Manders ,

Thanks for replying

My requirement is when user select any software in software variable it needs to check the licensed type of that software if the type is licensed then price variable needs to be visible in form

How can we achieve this without script in UI Policy i tried i think we cannot do that via policy

@suuriyas 

you cannot do this with UI policy.

You will have to use onChange client script with getReference callback and check the type and then show/hide the other variable

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading) {
        return;
    }

    var ref = g_form.getReference('softwareVariable', callBackMethod); // software variable name
}

function callBackMethod(ref) {
	// compare correct field name and choice value for licensed
    if (ref.licenseTypeField == 'licensed')
        g_form.setDisplay('otherVariable', true); // give other variable name here
    else
        g_form.setDisplay('otherVariable', false); // give other variable name here
}

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