How to define if condition with "contains"

[phr]

Hi All 

I have a requirement where i need to present the submission of the catalog form.

i did write the following code:

function onSubmit() {
var sn=g_form.getValue('service');
var cbox1 = g_form.getValue('did_you_read_kb_document_kb0007347_please_refer_description_for_the_link_to_kb');
var cbox2 = g_form.getValue('do_you_agree_with_the_automatic_expiration_policy_of_the_license_mentioned_in_kb0007347');
if(sn== '155936831b268a908d8ddc6fe54bcb8b')
{
if(cbox1 !== 'true' || cbox2 !== 'true')
{
alert('Select both checkboxes to submit the form.');
return false;
}
return true;
}

}

But its preventing only when there is "155936831b268a908d8ddc6fe54bcb8b" but the sys id "155936831b268a908d8ddc6fe54bcb8b" can be with any values.

Here the sys id belongs to "Copilot for M365" 

But copilot for M365 can have many values along with it.

Example: for the values below i am still able to submit.

How to achieve this?

Hi

For Service Portal script it can be done by

var sn=g_form.getDisplayValue('service'); //returns the names of the services and not sys_id
//We make all the names lowercase to be more accurate when validating
if(sn.toLowerCase().indexOf("some special name with only lowercase chars") > -1){

}

Hi @phr ,

Please replace the below and try:

if(sn, 'IN', '155936831b268a908d8ddc6fe54bcb8b');

Final Code will look like:

function onSubmit() {
var sn=g_form.getValue('service');
var cbox1 = g_form.getValue('did_you_read_kb_document_kb0007347_please_refer_description_for_the_link_to_kb');
var cbox2 = g_form.getValue('do_you_agree_with_the_automatic_expiration_policy_of_the_license_mentioned_in_kb0007347');
if(sn, 'IN', '155936831b268a908d8ddc6fe54bcb8b');
{
if(cbox1 !== 'true' || cbox2 !== 'true')
{
alert('Select both checkboxes to submit the form.');
return false;
}
return true;
}

}

Try

var sn=g_form.getValue('service'); //returns the list if sys_ids in the field

//Check if the list contains the sys_id your are looking for
if(sn.indexOf("sys_id") > -1){

}

Hi @Yashsvi ,

Since i need to pass only the sys id , i am not making use of the Alphabets. 

Instead of "==" i need the "Contains" to be replaced.

How to achieve this for sys id?
