(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 30

Hi,

I need to add wordcount validation for specific fields  in Opportunity entity on an advanced web form. Does anybody know how to do this?

It needs to display a customisable alert and work for both typed and pasted words on clicking continue to next web form step.

Help!!

    We can use java script to achieve wordcount validation for specific field on Opportunity Advanced Form.

    • Step 1 : Add below code to the Advanced Form Step form under Form options tab. And save it.3644.jpg

    $(document).ready(function () {

    //Create word count validator

    var wordCountValidator = document.createElement('span');

    //setup validator property and associated field

    wordCountValidator.style.display = "none";

    wordCountValidator.id = "new_wordcount_Validator";

    wordCountValidator.controltovalidate = "name";  // single of text

    wordCountValidator.evaluationfunction = function () {

         var wordCount= $("#name").val();

         var countWords = (wordCount.split(" ")).length;

       if (wordCount!== null && wordCount!== "" && wordCount!== undefined) { // Check condition

           if (countWords > 2) {  // check sub condition

    //setup custom validation message

                   this.errormessage = "<a href='#new_wordcount_label'>Topic should be of two words.</a>";

               return false;

           }

           else {

               return true;

           }

       }

       else {

           return true;

       }

    };

    // Add the validator to the page validators array:

    Page_Validators.push(wordCountValidator);

    });

    • Step 2 : Clear portal cache and view the result.

     If entered topic value is more the two then it will show the error message0027.jpg

    • Step 3 : If entered topic value is two or less than two it will save the form.40513.jpg

    • After clicking on submit button it will save form7065.jpg

    • It works for both typed and pasted words.

    Hope this helps!!!
