You can use a new JSON entry point called onCreateJSON on the onCreate event of a record. The onCreateJSON function prompts the user with a warning or question before creating a record.
The onCreateJSON function in the following example code prompts the user with a message that an address is being created under the parent Account.
<html><head><title>onCreateJSON Example</title><script type="text/javascript">
/** sample script to warn if creating address under Account **/
function onCreateJSON(){
return "[{\"action\":\"select\",\"invoke\":\"getParent\",\"parameters\":[{\"modulefields\":[{ \"module\":\"1\", \"fields\":\"uid\"}],\"filter\":\"1.uid=$parent.uid\"}]}]";
}
function getParent(row){
if(row.length>0) {
/** it means that we are creating address under Account parent**/
return "[{\"action\":\"showprompt\",\"invoke\":\"callbackWithButtonTitle\",\"title\"\"$confirm.address.create\",\"otherbuttontitles\":[\"create\"],\"cancelbuttontitle\":\"cancel\" }]";
}else {
return "[ {\"action\":\"validate\",\"result\":\"true\"} ]";
}
}
function callbackWithButtonTitle(otherbuttontitle1) {
if(otherbuttontitle1 == "create"){
return "[ {\"action\":\"validate\",\"result\":\"true\"} ]";
}else {
return "[ {\"action\":\"validate\",\"result\":\"false\"} ]";
}
}
function onErrorInvoke(rows){
if(rows.length > 0){
window.location = "melt://showAlert:" + message;
}
}
