Sorry for the delay – it seems I’m not getting all the notifications from my forum.
I have a list “Customers” with the customer name in the Title field, and a field “ServiceContract” that may contain the text “PO Required”.
Then I have a lookup form my DFFS enabled form into the “Customers” list in the Title field – pulling in the customer name.
Then I have this rule in DFFS NewForm: Customer is changed > Run these functions = customerChanged (see attached image).
In the custom js tab, I have this code:
function customerChanged(){ var sVal = $("#dffs_Customer").find("option:selected").val(), res; res = spjs_getItemByID({"listName":"Customers","id":sVal,"viewFields":["ServiceContract"]}); if(res !== null){ if(res.ServiceContract === "PO Required"){ spjs.dffs.dlgBox("This customer requires a PO.",true); } } }
Change “Customer”, “Customers” and “ServiceContract” to match your field and list name.
Please note that this code example uses “spjs.dffs.dlgBox” added in v4.350 – change this to an “alert(…)” if you use another version.
Hope this helps,
Alexander
