How to prevent standard change creation when assignment group is inactive.

Hello @RamcharanA, I'm not sure why you'd like to go for this approach when there are better approaches, highlighted earlier, available. Nevertheless, here are the SI and CS as asked:

- Script Include: ensure its client callable as depicted below

Here is the script to be used in SI

var TestRestrictChangeInactiveAssignedGroup = Class.create();
TestRestrictChangeInactiveAssignedGroup.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
	inactiveGroupCheck: function(){
		var assignedGroup = this.getParameter('sysparm_assignedGroup');
		var grGroup = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');
		grGroup.get(assignedGroup);
		grGroup.addActiveQuery();
		grGroup.query();
		return grGroup.hasNext();
	},
    type: 'TestRestrictChangeInactiveAssignedGroup'
});

 - Client Script: its configured to run only for new record, if you wish to run it for existing Change too then remove the first if condition

Here is the script to be used

function onSubmit() {
	//Runs only for new record
    if (g_form.isNewRecord()) { // remove if condition here if to be run for update too
        var gaAssignedGroup = new GlideAjax('TestRestrictChangeInactiveAssignedGroup');
        gaAssignedGroup.addParam('sysparm_name', 'inactiveGroupCheck');
        gaAssignedGroup.addParam('sysparm_assignedGroup', g_form.getValue('assignment_group'));
        gaAssignedGroup.getXMLWait(); // doesn't work in portal
        var isActiveGroup = gaAssignedGroup.getAnswer();
        if (isActiveGroup === 'false') {
            g_form.addErrorMessage('Selected Group is inactive');
            return false;
        }
    }
}
