Field styles in Form view

amaradiswamy — Mon, 05 Oct 2015 15:54:40 GMT

Hi All,

I have defined a style by using javascript:condition in the "Value field" of "Field Styles" to set the background color. It was working fine but the style is working only in the LIST view, when i open the form then the field on the form is normal and no background color was applied for that.

Please kindly advice on this?

Thanks & Regards,

swamy

Fuji changed a lot of the CSS formatting, but you can always do this in a client script

for example: This script

will have this result on the form

there are a couple of other community threads you can view as well on scripting options

Have you tried suffixing !important on the field style make it work on forms?

In the styles definition.

e.g.

width:250px; !important

Ahh you're styling a label.

Styles don't apply to the label on forms.

You'll have to use client scripts to manipulate the DOM.

Personally I would just settle for making the background of the input field a color, as what you are asking to do is not technically supported.

Hmmm.

Choice lists don't seem to style.

Hi Swamy,

Have you got the solution for this. We are in Geneva..Styles are not working here, it was working fine in Eureka release, Can any one help me on this??

Do we need to go with client script, will the styles will not work here??

Value: javascript:current.caller_id.u_telecommuter==true && current.caller_id.vip==true&&current.caller_id.active==true;

Style: background-color:LightCoral

Maybe log a ticket with HI.

I'm pretty sure Service-now has a top level style on choice lists that you can't override via Personalize Styles.

It has been like this since Fuji +

Hi Swamy

We were facing the same issue and came to know that, field styles apply on the form only if the field on which it is applied is disabled on the form. You can make your field non-editable if that is okay. and the field style would start working. Otherwise You need to use client scripts.

Thanks

Hi sravani we are facing the same issue, where did you find that field styles apply on the form only if the field on which it is applied is disabled on the form?

I would like to learn more. Thanks and best regards
