Prevent case creation

Posted on by 111

Hi, I need to prevent a user from manual case creation for a certain type of account.
The condition is: If Account field equals Internal, pop an error message preventing user from creating the case.

Can you help share solution or the process on how can I do this?

    Hi,
     
    Here are some steps to use this sample code.
    1. Edit the application to find the form you need to change


    2. Click Add /On Save/ event to upload this function to /Web Resources/.


    3. Fill in the function to be called and check the box /pass execution context as first parameter/.
    4. Click /Save and Publish/ to publish the form and application.

    Thank you for the code, can you share where exactly do I upload the code. Is it on the button or form? Can you share the detailed steps from the start?

    Hi,
     
    We have analyzed your requirements, and we think that you can execute a custom JavaScript function on the /On Save/ event of the form that will popup if the value of a field in the form is a specific value and block the save.

    Here is some sample code.
     
    function testfunc(executionContext) {
        // get form context
        var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); 
        // replace 'title' with the logical name of your field
        var testfield = formContext.getAttribute("title"); 
    
        if (testfield != null) {
            var testFieldValue = testfield.getValue();
    
            if (testFieldValue == 'TTT') {
                executionContext.getEventArgs().preventDefault(); 
                // show error message
                alert('Error: Cannot create case for Internal account.'); 
            }
        }
    }
