PREVENTDEFAULT
Prevents the save operation from finishing in the record editor. This function can be used inside save-record
or save-repeatable
to halt the save operation. Use this in combination with MESSAGEBOX()
and ALERT()
to display custom warning messages when the user saves a record.
Description
PREVENTDEFAULT
is used to implement custom warning messages when saving records. For example, displaying a custom confirmation message to the user when a special condition is met within the record to confirm that the user intends to save. It can be used as an extra layer of exception handling to present custom messages or make custom HTTP requests within the save process.
Example Data Event
ON('save-record', () => {
if (CHOICEVALUE($damage) === 'Critical') {
PREVENTDEFAULT();
const messageParams = {
title: 'Confirm',
message: 'You have selected a critical safety violation. Are you sure?',
buttons: ['Yes', 'No']
};
MESSAGEBOX(messageParams, (result) => {
if (result.value === 'Yes') {
SAVE();
}
});
}
});
