Unable to show error message

[Mahesho11]

 have shared u the screenshot please check. 

Here the problem is in security group table - I have filled security group name with the help sys_user_group, and owner from sys_user table. I have given some value to both. for example after the form is submitted I have deleted the user in that form. In catalog item if i selected the security name the owner should auto populate. So, if I use same security name then the owner is showing empty but I unable to show error message the form is submitting automatically. So, I got to know later the sys_id is present but the user got deleted with the help of alert and getValue i found it. 

This scenario is I am facing in my DEV environment in my project. Can u please guide me how to remove that sy_id if value is empty. 

Please help me and explain in detail.

In a table records the user is deleted 

ex- security table 

application name - reference - sys_group

owner - reference - sys_user -mandatory-  here after record is submitted.

the user is deleted in table for some of application name. So, in that place empty field owner sys-id is coming so I unable to show error message on submit client script if owner is empty because of sys id the form is submitting.

Hello @Mahesho11 ,

Please give a try to the script below and see how it works for you.

function onSubmit() {
    // Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
    var owner_a = g_form.getDisplayValue('owner_name');
    
    // Check if owner_a is empty or undefined
    if (!owner_a) {
        g_form.addErrorMessage('Owner field cannot be empty');
        return false; // Prevent form submission
    }

    // Additional check to ensure sys_id is not empty
    var owner_sys_id = g_form.getValue('owner');
    if (!owner_sys_id) {
        g_form.addErrorMessage('Owner sys_id is empty. Please select a valid owner.');
        return false; // Prevent form submission
    }

    // Continue with form submission if all checks pass
    return true;
}

What happens if you replace '.getValue' with '.getDisplayValue'? Value of a reference field is the sysID, so I guess you need that.

I used this code. But my problem  with the owner name is not empty showing after I autopopulated but sys_id is coming in that area. I got know with the help of 

var owner = g_form.getValue('owner_name');

alert(owner);
