JS onLoad form notification help (only show when field contains data)

Hi all,

I'm trying to show a form notification when a specific field on the form contains data.

I'm not good with Javascript, but have pieced together the below:

function ResellerAlert(executionContext) {

    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

    var reseller = formContext.getAttribute("parentaccountid");

    if (reseller != null) {

        formContext.ui.setFormNotification("This account has a Reseller listed, please check before quoting.", "WARNING");

    }

}

The problem I have is that the notification shows all the time. Even if the 'reseller' field is empty

The 'reseller' field is a lookup field to another account.

What am I doing wrong?

RE: JS onLoad form notification help (only show when field contains data)

I've discovered what was wrong.

for anybody searching this in future, i was missing 'getvalue()' from the 'getAttribute()' function.

new code as below:

function ResellerAlert(executionContext) {

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

var reseller = formContext.getAttribute("parentaccountid").getValue();

if (reseller != null) {

formContext.ui.setFormNotification("This account has a Reseller listed, please check before quoting.", "WARNING");

}

}
