Is it possible to show/hide fields (setControlVisibility) or set some fields as required/not required (setControlRequired) on the FSM Smart Client Screen using Client Script?

Hi,

You should be able to achieve this using the script screen on the UI Designer of the screen in question.

You will just need to set the script to look at a field on the table the screen uses and then set the value on the appropriate field based off of the value in the check field.

Example:

var control = getDBValue("select ISNULL(user_def2,'XXXXX') from task where task_id = '" + taskId + "'");

if(isNullOrEmptyString(control))

{       
    setControlRequired('user_def1', true);

}

else {

setControlRequired('user_def1', false);

}

This will store the value in user_def2 as a variable and then check it as part of an if statement. If it is populated then it sets the user_def1 field to required. If not it marks it as not required.

*Note this is example script intended only for demonstration of syntax not for use in live environments*

The specifics could then be altered to be more complex. Check for specific values in the field for instance and then do multiple else ifs for multiple settings and multiple field sets can be done within one if branch.

Hope this helps,
