Record Producer onLoad Catalog Client Script Function with onChange

[CP-UW]

I have found a couple of posts on here about calling a named function from an onLoad script in an onChange in a form (example below). It is not working for me and I am wondering if it doesn't work with record producers or if I am missing a setting.

I get Uncaught ReferenceError: calledFunction is not defined

Edit: I have a complex set of hide/show rules given to me by our customer that will require multiple onChange scripts and I'd like to have all of them call a singular function to reduce the amount of code I have to copy into all of them.

function onLoad() {
    // Blank since we're just creating a shared function
    alert("loading");
}

// Shared function that can be accessed by any other client script
function calledFunction() {
    alert("Called");
}

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
      return;
   }
    
    alert("change running");
    calledFunction();
}

Hello @CP-UW 

Your OnLoad client script should look like this. You have to define the "global" function like below outside the default OnLoad script part

function onLoad() {

    // Blank since we're just creating a shared function

    alert("loading");

}

calledFunction = function() { //Call this function from onchange client script

   alert("Called");

};

Your OnChange client script looks good.

If I change the function in the onLoad, I get the error below and the "loading" alert doesn't run

If I add var to the beginning, I get the "loading" alert, but then when the function is call from the onChange, I get:

Hello @CP-UW 

I have created a Record producer. Please check the screenshots below of the Onload and Onchange scripts.

I had everything the same. What made the difference for me was setting "Isolate script" (hidden by default in the PDI) to false. Then it worked.
