Require captions for a photo field
This example uses the validate-record
event in conjunction with the INVALID function to prevent saving a record if any photos in the photos
field are missing captions.
ON('validate-record', function (event) {
// if there are any photos, loop through the $photos objects and test the caption property for null
if ($photos) {
for (var i = 0; i < $photos.length; i++) {
// if caption is missing, alert the user and prevent the record from saving
if ($photos[i].caption === null) {
INVALID('All photos must have captions!');
}
}
}
});
This can be expanded to look through all photo fields in your app
ON('validate-record', function (event) {
// loop through the photo fields
DATANAMES('PhotoField').forEach(function(dataName) {
// get the photo field value
var photos = VALUE(dataName);
// if there are any photos, loop through the photo objects and test the caption property for null
if (photos) {
for (var i = 0; i < photos.length; i++) {
// if caption is missing, alert the user and prevent the record from saving
if (photos[i].caption === null) {
INVALID('All photos must have captions!');
}
}
}
});
});
