Catalog Item: Disable order/request/submit button based on variable value

[Xavier_Wharton]

Hello Community,

I have a process owner who wants to disable the order/request/submit button if the requestor selects "no" on a specific variable. 

I added a video explanation for reference: https://youtu.be/65iwLAJr8as.

I'm new to scripting, so I would appreciate a complete answer with context 🙂.

if you want to show/hide the order/request button based on variable then you need to use onChange catalog client script and use DOM manipulation to achieve which is not recommended.

If you still wish to do then check the answer in below link and enhance it as per your requirement

Thank you @Ankur Bawiskar. You mentioned that DOM manipulation is not recommended. Can you explain why? Additionally I reviewed the link that you shared in your first response, but wasn't clear on what to do.
