Client script Help : Assignment group to be made mandatory only when Assigned to is Filled

[Shree Nag]

Hello All,

Appreciate your help in this client script.

My requirement is to make Assignment group on a project task form mandatory, only when assigned to is filled in.

I wrote a client script for this, but find it not working when assigned to is empty.

1. When Assigned to is empty, Assignment group is empty - Able to submit.

2. When Assigned to is filled, Assignment group is empty, Error message shows up as expected.

3. When I fill in the assignment group, the Error message still shows up.

This is my client script. Could you please let me know what could be wrong?

function onSubmit() {

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

   var Assignedto=g_form.getValue('assigned_to');

    if(Assignedto=="")

        {

            return true;

        }else

            {   g_form.addErrorMessage("Please  select the assignment group");

            return false;

            }

}

Try this:

function onSubmit() {

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

   var Assignedto=g_form.getValue('assigned_to');

var assGroup = g_formn.getValue("assignment_group");

    if(Assignedto=="" && assGroup=="")

        {

            return true;

        }else

            {   g_form.addErrorMessage("Please  select the assignment group");

            return false;

            }

}

@Shree Nag,

or an onChange script this this code in it:

if(g_form.getValue("assigned_to") != ""){

g_form.setMandatory("assignment_group",true);

}

You can easily write UI Policy rather than script on project task form.

When to run : Assigned To is not empty 

Then go to UI Policy Actions, find Assignment Group field, make Mandatory true and the rest leave as It is.

Hello @Shree Nag ,

UI Policies --> You can achieve this scenario with just 2 steps.

Conditions: current.assigned_to != ' ';
UI Policy Actions: Check the box to make the field mandatory when the condition is met 

Client Script --> onChange

(function executeRule() {
    // Check if Assigned To field is filled
    if (g_form.getValue('assigned_to') != '') {
        // Make Assignment Group field mandatory
        g_form.setMandatory('assignment_group', true);
    } else {
        g_form.setMandatory('assignment_group', false);
    }
});
