Hello mates,
I hope you 're all doing well, I am facing a situation that I have never encountered before

I would like to set a field required based on a condition ? I started writing a JS code but dont know if its correct or no
My requirement is to set the field "nameofsd" as required if the field "taskproject" is equal to "finished" or "finished" and if the field "team" is equal to "Team 1" or "Team 2" or "Team3"

function setFieldrequirementasrequired(executionContext)
{
    // Getting formContext 
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    var task = formContext.getAttribute("new_taskproject").getValue();
    var team = formContext.getAttribute("new_projectteam").getValue();
    if (task == "finished" || "signed" && team= "Team1" || "Team2" || "Team3")
    {
        formContext.getAttribute("nameofsd").setRequiredLevel("required");
    }
    else
    {
        //setting Email field requirement as none.
        formContext.getAttribute("nameofsd").setRequiredLevel("none"); 
    }
}
Thanks in advance mates :)

Maybe it's too simple, buy why not just use business rules to do this. It's drag and drop in the UI?

assuming these two fields are text (because if they are of another type like lookups the syntax is different) the problem is how the conditions are written, the correct way would be

if ((task == "finished" || task == "signed") && (team == "Team1" || team == "Team2" || team == "Team3"))

Hi Guido Preite,

The format of "taskproject" field is an options group list
The format of "team" field is a lookup

Hi,

I updated your code. Please copy and try that -

function setFieldrequirementasrequired(executionContext)

{

// Getting formContext

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

var task = formContext.getAttribute("new_taskproject").getText();

var team = formContext.getAttribute("new_projectteam").getValue();

if ((task == "finished" || task=="signed") && (team[0].name= "Team1" || team[0].name=="Team2" || team[0].name=="Team3"))

{

formContext.getAttribute("nameofsd").setRequiredLevel("required");

}

else

{

//setting Email field requirement as none.

formContext.getAttribute("nameofsd").setRequiredLevel("none");

}

}

nameofsd should have prefix which you are missing in your code like new_nameofsd

docs.microsoft.com/.../gettext

docs.microsoft.com/.../getvalue

Hi,

Add alert in your code to check the valuue -

alert("Task Value:"+task);

alert("Team Value:"+team[0].name);

If you want to use integer value then you should change below line

var task = formContext.getAttribute("new_taskproject").getText();

to

var task = formContext.getAttribute("new_taskproject").getValue();

Debug your JS code - carldesouza.com/.../

Hi,

Are you Passing the Execution Context from the Form itself?

docs.microsoft.com/.../clientapi-execution-context

Thank you,
