    I'm new to using Design Studio and trying to make an IC user field a required field on the IC21.1 form (Inventory Issue screen). I'm able to get the script to check the first line on the detail section, but how do you get it to check all lines having an item being issued out? Below is my JAVA script. Any help would be appreciated.

    function FORM_OnBeforeTransaction(fc)
    {
    if (fc == "A" || fc == "C")
    {
    var sUserFld = lawForm.getFormValue("text22");
    if (sUserFld == "")
    {
    lawForm.positionInFieldById("text22");
    alert("Badge ID is required")
    return false
    }

    }
    return true;
    }

      Need to do a for loop for the number of detail lines and reference the field as such:

      for (var i=0.......
      var UserFld = lawForm.getFormValue("text22",i);
      ....

          Thanks Gary for the quick response. But when I add you code to my, it does not check the user field. I must be placing the code in the wrong section. Where should I insert your code?

            Example if there are 8 detail lines:

            if (fc == "A" || fc == "C")
            {
            for (var i=0;i<8;i++) {
            var sUserFld = lawForm.getFormValue("text22",i);
            if (sUserFld == "")
            {
            lawForm.positionInFieldById("text22",i);
            alert("Badge ID is required")
            return false
            }
            }
            }

              But I would code it:

              if (fc == "A" || fc == "C")
              {
              for (var i=0;i<8;i++) {
              if (lawForm.getFormValue("text22",i) == "")
              {
              lawForm.positionInFieldById("text22",i);
              alert("Badge ID is required")
              return false
              }
              }
              }

                Gary, it still does not check to see if the user field is blank, it just adds the record anyways. Any ideas?

                  User fields are on IC21.3, did you add a new field to the detail area that is the text22. If yes then it is probably how you added it that you only see one occurance. You have to add WHILE in the detail area (select the area then click on Object button at bottom), if you just paste it on top you will get the field but it really is not part of the detail area.

                  You may have to fudge with the source as well becuase it really is not a field defined to the detail area.

                    I did add the new text field to the detail area, but I was within the detail area before I added it (I was in the child object ). It assigned text22 to the text box and then I used the data source and selected USR_FLD_01 (which as you mentioned was named text1, feild=_f2 in IC21.3. We first tried adding the user field @ the header but it would not show as available under the data souce. Fudging the source sounds like it may be the only option. Thanks.

                      You can not just add the data source from other screens, you will have to populate the value in OnBeforeTransaction and do an AGS call to IC21.3 in OnAfterTransaction to update that User Field.
