Yes / No Dialog Box

A couple of solutions for you

1. Instead of preventing an action from happening, you could always show information to a user after an action has taken place using CLIENT_SYS.Add_Info - This will not roll back the transaction, but can be used as handy reminders. (Can’t remember the full workings of the procedure, but if I recall it only works with certain LU’s)

2. Create a checkbox custom field on the record you are modifying called “Override error message” - (by default unchecked)

• Check in your code if the checkbox is ticked or not - if not then keep the current error message which says “Possible error. Something may be wrong. - Tick ‘Override error message’ checkbox to ignore error”
• If the checkbox is ticked then upon saving the record the error message will not appear
• This way you are still forcing the user to have a further action to continue (As long as they don’t tick the checkbox every time to avoid error message)

Failing those two options you could always pay for an IFS modification if the requirement was that important

I did think there was nothing available except workaround. Right now we have custom enumeration on screen showing options Blank (default) / Yes / No. This value is passed to action. When user takes action first time they are showed error and the message to set custom field value to Yes / No and then take action again.

This time action continues based on custom field values.

I think that approach is the best you can come up with, when it comes to “asking the user” in custom events.

Is there a way to call this prompt?

Not without an IFS modification

Is there any way to show Yes/No dialog box in a custom event and perform operation based on user’s response?

 

Can’t you try Client_SYS.Add_Warning method? This will give you two options. Either to continue or to cancel. 

Have you had any examples where this will actually work?

I’ve tried it loads and can never get it to display
