Validation Script problem
Hello Carmen,
First of all, if you want to check if it is NOT set, you need to test for === null .
var messages = [];
if(item.SUPPLIER_QUALITY_MANUAL === null){
messages.push('A response must be entered for "Supplier Quality Manual" ');
}
returnValue(messages);
From your comment about the "SUPPLIER_QUALITY_MANUAL field is in a different workspace from the workspace ", it seems that this field is on the Affected/Managed Item (the item you want to revision) and not on the workflow item directly (the revisioning item).
In both cases I assume that the radio button is from a custom picklist with yes and no, correct?
One thing to help you, you can set the "default" value of the SUPPLIER_QUALITY_MANUAL so your new items will never be "empty"/null. Except of course if you actually "always" want the user to manually set a value.
Here is the field description that I used for the code below:
Here is an example if it is the case (that the field is actually from the linked item in the Managed/Affected Item Tab. You need to loop through each linked revision controlled items under that revisioning item.
var messages = [];
var wfiSize = item.workflowItems.length;
var i;
for( i=0;i<wfiSize;i++){
var wfi = item.workflowItems[i].item;
if(wfi.SUPPLIER_QUALITY_MANUAL === null){
messages.push('A response must be entered for "Supplier Quality Manual" ');
}else if(wfi.SUPPLIER_QUALITY_MANUAL === "Yes"){
//Do something if it shouldn't be yes
}else if(wfi.SUPPLIER_QUALITY_MANUAL === "No"){
//Do something if it shouldn't be no
}
}
returnValue(messages);
And here the example if the field is on the Revisioning item itself (like you have in your example):
var messages = [];
if(item.SUPPLIER_QUALITY_MANUAL === null){ messages.push('A response must be entered for "Supplier Quality Manual" '); }else if(item.SUPPLIER_QUALITY_MANUAL === "Yes"){ //Do something if it shouldn't be yes
}else if(item.SUPPLIER_QUALITY_MANUAL === "No"){ //Do something if it shouldn't be no }
returnValue(messages);

Hi,
Sorry about that confusion.
I assumed that you were a little more familiar with Javascript. The wfi is just a variable name (I could have named it toto). But in your specific case you do not need it.
The right code is bellow: item.LINKING_PICK_LIST.SUPPLIER_QUALITY_MANUAL
var messages = [];
if(item.SUPPLIER_QUALITY_MANUAL === null){
messages.push('A response must be entered for "Supplier Quality Manual" ');
}
returnValue(messages);

Here is the final script after some more email discussions.
Bottom line, the customer has two workspaces and use relationship to link the two. The attribute to validate the workflow is not on the workflow workspace but on one of the item of the relationship workspace.
Here is the final code:
var relationshipSize = item.relationships.length;
var messages = [];
var i;
for( i=0;i<relationshipSize;i++){
var relationshipItem = item.relationships[i].item;
if(relationshipItem.master.workspaceID ===57){
if(relationshipItem.SUPPLIER_QUALITY_MANUAL === null){
messages.push('A response must be entered for "Supplier Quality Manual" for ' + relationshipItem.descriptor.descriptor );
}else if(relationshipItem.SUPPLIER_QUALITY_MANUAL === "Yes"){
//Do Something if needed for yes
}else if(relationshipItem.SUPPLIER_QUALITY_MANUAL === "No"){
//Do Something if needed for no
}
}
}
returnValue(messages);
