Hi,

How can we prevent a from from saving on clicking the save button until certain validations are met?

Because of certain conditions I cannot make the fields mandatory so I have used java script, but it is not working.

I have tried return false , eventArgs.preventDefault(); but still its not preventing the save

following is my code sample.

 if (condition)
            {
                alert("Message ");
                //
                
               
               preventSave()

                //return false;
               
            }


        

function preventSave(econtext) {
    if (econtext != null && econtext.getEventArgs() != null) {
        var eventArgs = econtext.getEventArgs();
        if (eventArgs.getSaveMode() == 1) {
            eventArgs.preventDefault();
        }
    }
}

Can somebody Please help me to solve this issue ?

Kind Regards.

you need to call your function from the OnSave event defined in the form AND select "pass the context as first parameter" when you add the function.

Hi Nijos,

As your issue is resolved, I would like to give my inputs for other viewers who are still struggling with this issue.

Kindly follow the steps:
1. Create the below mentioned javascript function.

function preventSave(econtext) {

if (econtext != null && econtext.getEventArgs() != null) {
var eventArgs = econtext.getEventArgs();
if (eventArgs.getSaveMode() == 1) {
eventArgs.preventDefault();
}
}
}

2. Open the event handler and check the "pass execution context as first parameter"

this is the way to prevent the form from save.
Thanks,
Shashank
