onLoad Client Script

[Jimmy Morse]

I am trying to set-up a client script that will show an error message on a form if a specific field is not populated. Being a novice at scripting I seem to be having some difficulties and not getting it right. This is what I have for my script:

function onLoad() {

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

   if(g_form.getValue.spm_taxonomy_node == null) {

  g_form.addErrorMessage('Service cannot move beyond pipeline phase and approved status until a taxonomy node is set.');

  }

}

I have attached a screenshot of the script. Any assistance is appreciated!

Hi there,

At least g_form.getValue.spm_taxonomy_node is wrong, possibly more, though at least this.

Try:

g_form.getValue('spm_taxonomy_node')

Kind regards,
Mark

I do wonder though, since it's an onLoad Client Script, could this also be done Server Side instead of Client Side?

Please explain what your situation is and what you are after. That way we can help you better than just looking at some code and just fixing a line. 

Kind regards,
Mark

I am setting up an ATF suite on Service Portfolio Management. One of the tests fails because this error message does not show when the form loads. I am trying to remedy the situation so the test will pass.

Well at least the script in incorrect. So if you're ATF is about checking that, yeah correct it's failing I guess.

Though the script then also never worked before?

Reading your original post, I would think this is a new Client Script? That's why I'm asking what you are really after. What do you want to achieve functionally? Because it looks odd such a onLoad Client Script.

Kind regards,
Mark
