Delay Close of Record with JS?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by fishyjj

I have some custom javascript that executes on change of the "Created On" field on a record. Everything works correctly if a user fills out all necessary fields and then clicks "Save". When a user clicks "Save and Close", however, the javascript fails to execute. I know that I can prevent the default behavior of that save and close button, but that isn't great for user experience. Is there a way to delay the close event so that the javascript can properly execute? Or does anyone know an alternate solution to an issue like this? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Ah.. I see. You probably can't do it, though. The way I understand it is:

    "Save button" logic:

    - Save

    - OnLoad (once the form is reloaded)

    - CreatedOn is set and your event fires

    "Save and close" logic:

    There is no reload (since the form is closed instead), so nothing happens that makes your script fire

    The code you have there may have to be moved to a plugin/workflow instead (if they run in "post-create", they will have access to the id of the record)

    Hi -- reason I am not doing that is because I need to use the guid of the record I am creating in my javascript code.

    Hi,

      just out of curiosity.. did you try form "onsave" event instead? If you only wanted that script to work for new records, you could use getFormType method to see if it's a "create":
