Displaying Field Message For Variables in the Catalog

[michaelrodway]

I would like to set a Field Message on a catalog variable.

However I am not having any luck doing so.

I am able to get the value, set mandatory, visiblity.

I tried what was posted in the following link:

How to display error message next to a variable in the Service Catalog

Here is my code in the Catalog Client Script:

function onSubmit() {

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

  var assetInStock = g_form.getValue('asset_in_stock');

  alert ("asset in stock: " + assetInStock);

  g_form.showFieldMsg('asset_in_stock',"... Asset in Stock Message",'error');

  return false;

}

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Regards,

Mike

I don't see anything wrong with the script. Just to be sure, is the variable name "asset_in_stock" correct? Does the alert function return correct value?

Probir,

Yup, the variable returns a proper value...

try changing the message to just test.. i   am worried about control characters in your message text...

also i tend to put these in a policy... set the conditions when it should appear in the true box.. then set a clear message in the false...
