Display More Information text when a field value is changed

kb22 · ‎07-08-2016

I know the onLoad script for automatically displaying More Information text, but was wondering if it's possible to only open it if a field is changed after opening i.e. type of request = 'delete'?

Your client script would watch the type_of_request variable. The (untested) script would look like this:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

           return;

   }

if (newValue == 'delete') {

       var myVar = g_form.getControl('comments_note');

       if(myVar) {

                   var myVarHelp = $('question_help_IO_' + myVar.id.split(':')[1] + '_toggle');

                   toggleVariableHelpText(myVarHelp);

       }

   }

}

Since it's a toggle and there's no boolean argument, I'd try calling it a second time to hide it.

I've tried the following, but not hiding. I'm not experienced as scripting, so need a bit of additional help:

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

//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
if (newValue == 'Yes') {
var myVar = g_form.getControl('designate_proxy');
if(myVar) {
var myVarHelp = $('question_help_IO_' + myVar.id.split(':')[1] + '_toggle');
toggleVariableHelpText(myVarHelp);

if (newValue == 'No') {
if(myVar) {

toggleVariableHelpText(myVarHelp);
}
}
}
}
}
