Project Management Linked Item Validation

[MrSJM88]

Hi There,

Is there a validation script out there that ensures a user has added a linked item to project management tab prior to particualr state in a workflow?

Thanks,

Stephen

Hi Stephen,

Here is an example script that you can use.

var message = [];

if(item.PROJECT_LINK === null){

  message.push('You need to select a Project in the Project Link Field.');

}

returnValue(message);

Good Morning Trung,

This script would ensure a field has been populated and I think I might be able to whip up a workaround for what I am looking for but is there a script that validates a linked item in the project management tab?

Scenario

Workspace A (validation that Workspace B was created and linked to A prior to workflow)

Workspace B (project link field, picklist of Workspace A to link to project management)

Right now a user could create a record in Workspace A and start the workflow without creating Workspace B record.

Thanks,

Stephen

Hi Stephen,
Please take a look at Scripting Reference guide's item.project.children. You can check if the tab is empty by checking item.project.children.length===0 or can check for specific task presence by looping through the tasks and check for title or other information. Eg. item.project.children[0].title.

The reference can be found here. http://help.autodesk.com/view/PLM/ENU/?guid=GUID-BBBBAB3B-FEAE-4EB7-8D1B-29E76EC6BC65
