g_form.showFieldMsg scrollForm does not work in CMS - Known Error

g_form.showFieldMsg scrollForm does not work in CMS Description g_form.showFieldMsg scrollForm does not work in CMS.

Steps to Reproduce

The [scrollForm] behavior documented in the 'g_form.showFieldMessage' method does not work in CMS; scrolling to the message only works in non_CMS.

Log in to a Fuji instance. Note that glide.ui.scroll_to_message_field is true in the base system. Navigate to Service Catalog > Categories > Maintain Items . Select any active catalog item (for example, Apple iPhone 5). Add a new yes/no checkbox (test1) variable with the lowest order value so it displays at the top. Add a new Multi Line Text (comments1) variable with the highest order value so it displays at the bottom. Add the Catalog Client Scripts -> Catalog Item related list to the catalog item form by using Configure > Related List . Name: setFocus Applies to: A Catalog Item Active: true UI Type: Desktop Application: Global Type: onChange Catalog Item: Apple iPhone 5 Variable name: test1 Applies on a Catalog Item view: true Script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) { if (isLoading || newValue == '') { return; } g_form.showFieldMsg("comments1", "You need to populate Comments","info",true); }

From the Catalog Item record, click the Try It button. Change yes/no checkbox (test1) variable from Yes to No . Focus and auto-scroll to message and field specified (comments1). Launch CMS and repeat steps. The message is displayed, but focus and auto-scroll does not occur. Workaround There are two options.

The first option is to display the message right underneath field (test1 in above scenario) by modifying script:

from:

g_form.showFieldMsg("comments1", "You need to populate Comments","info",true);

to:

g_form.showFieldMsg("test1", "You need to populate Comments below","info",true);

-or-

The second option is to force the focus to the field at the bottom of the form by modifying the script to:

g_form.showFieldMsg("comments1", "You need to populate Comments","info",false); location.href="#"; location.href="#" + g_form.getControl('comments1').id;
