I have a form with save, submit, approve and reject buttons.
form also have a comments field (formatted text area) .
Now I am trying to validate this comments field based on Reject button click.If Clicks Reject button without entering any text in the comments field then user has to views a validation warning on the comments field.


Could you please provide some inputs on how to handle this scenario.


Thanks in advance.

    Hi Satish,

    So you're saying that when users click on "Reject", then a value for
    "Comment" field must be provided. I imagine that you're storing a field with
    visibility set to `false()` what button was pressed. Let's say that field is
    named `status`, and that you store `rejected` when users click on "Reject".

    Then, in the Control Settings for the Comment field, in the Validations and
    Alerts tab, in Required you could click on Formula, and enter `$status =
    'rejected'`. Would that work for you?

    Hi Satish,

    Did you manage to make the "Comment" field required when a specific button
    is pressed, using the suggestion in my previous message?

    Hello Alex,

    I was able to achieve this by adding xpath in readonly under  formulas settings like xxf:user-roles() = 'shf-owner'.
    And in properties I am validating the comments field if it is empty then throwing an alert message.

    Thanks for your inputs
