On submit Client script

[Rahul Raja Sami]

Hi

I am using this on submit client to check the conditions with the concerned script include and to validate and pop up the error message if it matches and abort the submission of request.
but this is populating the error message but not aborting the action.
I have tried return false but no use.
how to solve this?

function onSubmit() {
    // Retrieve the variable values
    var requestedFor = g_form.getValue('requestor'); // Replace with the actual variable name
    var spaceName = g_form.getValue('u_ref_name_of_qlik_sense_space'); // Replace with the actual variable name
    var accessType = g_form.getValue('u_sb_access_level_required'); // Replace with the actual variable name

    var isValid = false;
    // Call the Script Include to check for duplicates
    var ga = new GlideAjax('RITMValidation');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'checkDuplicateRITM');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_requested_for', requestedFor);
    ga.addParam('sysparm_space_name', spaceName);
    ga.addParam('sysparm_access_type', accessType);

    ga.getXMLAnswer(function(response) {
        //var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer');
        var answer = response;
        if (answer === 'duplicate') {
            g_form.addErrorMessage('A request with the same details already exists.');
            // return false; // Prevent form submission
            //g_form.submit(false);
        } else {
            isValid = true;
        }

        return isValid;
    });

}

Thanks

Hi @Rahul Raja Sami ,

you are returning nothing from onSubmit function. You only returning value from XMLAnswer but onSubmit function it self is returning nothing.

Please see updated script:

function onSubmit() {

  // Retrieve the variable values

  var requestedFor = g_form.getValue("requestor"); // Replace with the actual variable name

  var spaceName = g_form.getValue("u_ref_name_of_qlik_sense_space"); // Replace with the actual variable name

  var accessType = g_form.getValue("u_sb_access_level_required"); // Replace with the actual variable name

  var isValid;

  // Call the Script Include to check for duplicates

  var ga = new GlideAjax("RITMValidation");

  ga.addParam("sysparm_name", "checkDuplicateRITM");

  ga.addParam("sysparm_requested_for", requestedFor);

  ga.addParam("sysparm_space_name", spaceName);

  ga.addParam("sysparm_access_type", accessType);

  ga.getXMLAnswer(function (response) {

    //var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer');

    var answer = response;

    if (answer === "duplicate") {

      g_form.addErrorMessage("A request with the same details already exists.");

      isValid = false;

    } else {

      isValid = true;

    }

  });

  return isValid;

}

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful and correct. This will help others finding a solution.

this is not working just displaying the error message but not aborting the submission.
