[rm3]

Hi all, i am new to service now, just wanted to know what is the use of 'message' field in the Client script form. Please clarify this with a simple example if possible...

Hi there,

You can use this field for Internationalization or to not hardcode messages within scripting (could be used for English language as well).

Within this field, you would mention the sys_ui_message record (the key). In the Client Script, you could reference that message by using getMessage. Here's an example from on of our instance:

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,

Hi,

This is really helpful. Thanks for that. But if I wanted to display the message under my field from the system UI messages what should I do? Please help...

You can use g_form.showFieldMsg('Field name', message);

Hi Mark.  I'm a little confused.  I like the idea of maintaining the message from the Messages field, however, in your example, when you call "getMessage('...')" it appears your entering the message text in the code anyway.  Also, the field name, "Messages" (plural) implies there could be more then one.  Is it possible to add more than one message to the Messages field and refer to the specific message you want to use in the code?
