onSubmit Client Script: How to override the dirty form alert box ( "Leave Site? Changes you made may not be saved.") on a onSubmit client script?

[Community Alums]

Hi,

I have a onSubmit client script on a record producer where I throw an alert box. When the user clicks on "Ok" on the alert box- a dirty form error alert box pops up with the text "Leave Site? Changes you made may not be saved." How to override this 2nd alert pop up?

I tried using g_form.modified = false as I saw in few other threads. But that did not work. Any solution to this?

Thank you,

Shruthi

Hi Shruthi,

that message is out of the box coming from browser and I think it cannot be changed

try this property

glide.ui.dirty_form_supportEnables (true) or disables (false) display of a confirmation message when a form has unsaved changes and the user leaves the form through any means except a submit (such as using the green back arrow, any form button, or other). This property is not supported in Safari.

• Type: true | false
• Default value: true
• Location: System Property [sys_properties] table

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Hi Ankur,

Thank you for your reply. But a property change would be a global change right? 

We were able to achieve override it with a combination of onSubmit client script and portal_redirect on RP form.

Thank you!
