CA Service Management

I am trying to prevent two fields on a form from having the same value by using the nodup function. My form is complete and functioning except I need to have different values in the Technical Contact (tech_contact = _id value on form) and the Verifier Contact (verifier - _id value on form) fields. I have tried several different java script functions, ca_fdGetTextFieldValue, ca_fdFetchSelectData, and so on and I have also tried it using the submitting:function(){

Thanks

nodup_dup:function(){
  var re = ca_fdGetSelectedOptions('form_id_value','tech_contact');
  var ve = ca_fdGetSelectedOptions('form_id_value','verifier');
  var re_st = re.toString();
  var ve_st = ve.toString();
  if(re_st == ve_st){
    alert("The technical contact and the change verifier cannot be the same person.\r\nPlease correct before submitting.");
 {ca_fdUnselectAllOptions('form_id_value','verifier', '');}
 {ca_fdUnselectAllOptions('form_id_value','tech_contact', '');}
    }
  },

Hi,

Give this a try. Here's what i changed.

1. Changed ca_fdGetSelectedOptions to ca_fdGetSelectedOptionValues

2. Removed the third empty parameter from ca_fdUnselectAllOptions as that function only requires two parameters (form id and field id)

3. Removed extra curly brackets from ca_fdUnselectAllOptions 

4. Don't forget to replace form_id_value with the id of your form

nodup_dup:function(){
  var re = ca_fdGetSelectedOptionValues('form_id_value','tech_contact');
  var ve = ca_fdGetSelectedOptionValues('form_id_value','verifier');
  if(re == ve){
    alert("The technical contact and the change verifier cannot be the same person.\r\nPlease correct before submitting.");
    ca_fdUnselectAllOptions('form_id_value','verifier');
    ca_fdUnselectAllOptions('form_id_value','tech_contact');
  }
},

Good Afternoon Terry.

Are you okay with the given response/example?

Thanks in advance and kind regards, Louis.

Hi Louis

The given example did not work, the odd thing is I have the code working on a different form (slightly different) the only difference is the form name and the report plugin.

I actually changed the report plugin on the form where the code is not working and that didn’t work.

Thanks

Terry
