is there a way for me to setMin/setMax value dynamically in JavaScript?

Posted on by smoov01

I have a customer who's requirement is to only allow their users to enter values between two values (min/max), based on the selection of another field (optionset). I need to dynamically change the min and max range. I can see the number field allows me to getMin/Max, but I don't see a setter for this. Anyone else done something like this?

Hi smoov01,

You could create a Whole Number field with a large range of allowed values, and then create a JavaScript file that runs on change of the field. The JavaScript will need to check the value of the Option Set field, and based on this value, check that the value entered into the Whole Number field falls within the desired range. Once you have this information you can finish the JavaScript by deciding what happens when a value falls outside the range.

I would suggest to write a JS function and register it on change the field which you want to set the max and min value. In the js method check the optionset value and based on that then check min,max value . If it's does not matches with required max,min value then set the field value to null.

Thanks Sander, yeah I thought of those earlier on, however I was not able to configure the business rule to use greater than/less than operators, and the suggestion functionality did not meet the customers request. they want the user to not be able to proceed if the value is not within the range. I was hoping to surface the html min/max somehow and set those, but it doesn't look like I can do it.

Thanks

You could use a Business rule to check the value or use the suggestion functionality in a business rule.

The min max values cannot be set dynamically, these are the min max values for the specific field on database level.
