Data Certification-Make "Optional comment for checked elements" mandatory for failed elements

[Mahesh120]

Hi,

I know it may not be a good idea to play around with OOTB functionality.However , would to know if there is a way where I can alert user to fill in "comments" without fail for the failed certification elements.Looked at the different UI Macros and UI Pages but not able to see from it gets controlled.

Any thoughts or other means of implementation?

Hi @Shantanu1 ,

I have reimplemented this code on another PDI and it works as expected.

To make it super easy, just copy and paste the whole code.

If you will have still an issue with the UI macro, then revert changes, or repair the Data Certification plugin (go to System Definition > Plugins, search Data Certification, and select repair for plugin).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<j:jelly trim="true" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

   function toggleCertHelp() {
      var el = $("cert_help");
      if (el.style.display == "none")
         el.show();
      else
         el.hide();
   }

   // Function to validate the certification comment
    function validateCertComment() {
        var mandatoryComment = "${gs.getMessage('Please fill in the mandatory comment before failing to certify.')}";
        var commentInput = document.getElementById('cert_comment');
        if (commentInput.value == '' || commentInput.value == commentInput.alt) {
            alert(mandatoryComment);
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }
