how to create new form element function

[Aqib Khan]

how can i create a form element function for making field maindatory

[Andrew Thompson]

Fields such as "Select" fields have a "required" flag that allows you to make that field required.

If you are trying to make a field like the "Text Field" required, you can set the Minimum Length to "1"

Andy thanks for the suggestion, this i already know but i need something like:

ca_pam_hideField(_id, isHide) which is general function for all form element. this i can use at onchange, onblur and etc. i need something like this for make a field required

I don't think we have that function but a work around would be to call a inline javascript function on onchange or onblur and check the field value, if value is empty then display an alert message .

To call an inline javascript function  --> ca_fd.js.<function name> . E.g ca_fd.js.getValue()

Hi

Create two fields, one with the required "true" and one with "false".
Then, use the hide fields on the one you want to activate / show.

you are using radio buttons. i have two field with drop down one with Choice and other with Member and both are required. i want condition to be as, when choice is "rejected" it wont show members and when choice is approved it shows member field.

on change i add Disablefield and hidefield, it hides the members field when choice change from approve to reject. but when choice again selected Approve it wont show the members drop down. then i have to close and reopen IRF.

i need solution which works with select choice like when choice is approve it shows field and when it is rejected it wont show without reopen the IRF.

i have two fields one with Choice "Form.choice"(approve/reject/More Info) and one with Members"Form.Member" (list of users). Task is to make Member field mandatory when choice is Approve.

i created a validate script with an alert and place it at submit

"{
  onSubmitValidate :  function (obj) {
    var selectedValue = ca_pam_getSelectedOptionValues(obj);
    var memberValue = ca_pam_getSelectedOptionValues('Form.Member');
    if(selectedValue == 'Approved' && memberValue == ''){
      alert('Please select Implementer');
      return false;
    }
  }
 
}"
 

and in form on submit i added

"ca_fd.js.onSubmitValidate('Form.choice')"

 

now as defined when condition is approve it gives popup on submit to select implementer, and when condition is false it finish without any popup.

remember to make "required=false" on field Form.Member.
