Compare two People Picker fields

[Gerard Graham]

Hi three

Anyone found a way to compare two people picker fields? A scenario is an Owner and an Approver pair of fields cannot be the same user. I want to be able to alert the current user to make a change.

Any ideas?

You can add this snippet to your Custom JS to have a check when saving the form:

function dffs_PreSaveAction(){
    var pp1 = getFieldValue("PeoplePicker1");   
    var pp2 = getFieldValue("PeoplePicker2");
    if(String(pp1) === String(pp2)){
        spjs.dffs.alert({
            "title":"ERROR",
            "msg":"You cannot use the same person as Owner and Approver"
        });
        return false;
    }
}
