How to use one client script, on multiple variables, in a variable set?

[ericgilmore]

I have a Variable Set with 6 variables. Each single line text.

I have a simple Catalog Client Script thats supposed to be applied to the variable set, which checks if the values put in the fields are, 1) numbers and, 2) from (0 - 30).

But, I only know how to make it check ONE variable, so I'd have to create this script for the other 5 variables to get it to work properly for each. I don't want to do this.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
     if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
           return;
     }
   g_form.hideErrorBox('tlos_place1');
   var partNumber = g_form.getValue('tlos_place1');
   var numbervalid = /^([0-9]{1,2})$/;
   if (!(partNumber.match(numbervalid)) || partNumber > 30) {
   g_form.showErrorBox('tlos_place1','That entry isn\'t in the expected range \(0-30\). Please try again.',false);
   return;
   } else {
   g_form.hideErrorBox('tlos_place1');
   return;
   }
}

How do I get it to work for all the variables in the variable set w/o attaching the script to each individual variable manually?

I guess I should have said that. This is Helsinki and the Service Portal.

Sorry to be so dense, but you're saying that I have to go anonymous function time on the onLoad?

var checkThisValue = function() {
   function checkParticipants(someVar) {
           // g_form.hideErrorBox(someVar);
       var partNumber = g_form.getValue(someVar);
       var numberValid = /^([0-9]{1,2})$/;

       if (!(partNumber.match(numberValid)) || partNumber > 30) {
       g_form.showErrorBox('someVar','That entry isn\'t in the expected range \(0-30\). Please try again.',false);
       return;
       } else {
       g_form.hideErrorBox('someVar');
       return;
       }
   } 
}

Or the onChange?

In the onLoad define it like this

1. checkParticipants = function(someVar) {  
2.           // g_form.hideErrorBox(someVar);  
3.       var partNumber = g_form.getValue(someVar);  
4.       var numberValid = /^([0-9]{1,2})$/;  
5.  
6.       if (!(partNumber.match(numberValid)) || partNumber > 30) {  
7.       g_form.showErrorBox('someVar','That entry isn\'t in the expected range \(0-30\). Please try again.',false);  
8.       return;  
9.       } else {  
10.       g_form.hideErrorBox('someVar');  
11.       return;  
12.       }  
13.   }  

Nothing special to do in the onChange

Note that in line 7 and 10 you reference someVar as a string 'someVar' instead

[ericgilmore]

Yes!

For whatever reason, your answer is NOW working in my environment too. Without access to the global UI.

So I have my choice of either now.

Thanks!

OK,

Since I had to attach a onChange client script to each variable in the set anyway, I just went with:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
           return;
   }
       var num = isNaN(newValue);
       if (num || newValue > 30) {
               g_form.showFieldMsg('place1','That entry isn\'t in the expected range \(0-30\). Please try again.','error');
       } else {
               g_form.hideFieldMsg('place1', true);
       }
}

I think I might have had to create a global onLoad script for the Catalog Item in order to get it working the other way. Unfortunately, I don't have access to do that yet.

So rlatorre pretty much had my answer this time.

Thank you all!
