Make the field mandatory based on value of the another field

Question

Hi ,

I am trying to make a custom field mandatory based on the value of another custom field using SIL script.

if (argv["customfield_17000"] == "Digital ad" ){
lfShow("customfield_18600"); //Gifs or HTML5
lfShowFieldMessage("customfield_18600", "Field is required", "WARNING");
lfShow("customfield_18601"); //Maximum file size
lfShowFieldMessage("customfield_18601", "Field is required", "WARNING");
lfDisable("editSubmit");

But submit button is not getting disabled. Please help me to resolve this

Hi,

Sorry i missed to add the parenthesis here.  customfield_17000 is a single -select select list type.

I added this script to main script and executed as Live field.

Field messages are getting displayed but Submit button is not getting disabled. I referred this document

Hello,

It should be like this:

if (argv["customfield_17000"] == "Digital ad" ){
  lfShow("customfield_18600"); //Gifs or HTML5
  lfShowFieldMessage("customfield_18600", "Field is required", "WARNING"); 
  lfShow("customfield_18601"); //Maximum file size 
  lfShowFieldMessage("customfield_18601", "Field is required", "WARNING");
  lfDisable("editSubmit");
}

You forgot closing parenthis.

Also how did you connect this hook?

lfWatch("customfield_17000", {customfield_17000"}, "yoursilfile.sil");

What is the customfield_1700 type?
