Email Client Templates using Javascript calls that send multiple parameters to a function fail due to a Javascript compiler exception - Support and Troubleshooting

Email Client Templates using Javascript calls that send multiple parameters to a function fail due to a Javascript compiler exception Issue When calling a function from a Script Include from an Email Client Template, for example the Recipients->To field, the function call will fail with a Javascript compiler exception if multiple parameters are passed to the function.

For example this will work (one parameter): Recipients->To: javascript: var si = new global.TestEmailClient(); si.ToEmailOneParam('HR');

This won't (two parameters): Recipients->To: javascript: var si = new global.TestEmailClient(); si.ToEmailWithParms('HR', 'Admin');

Release Utah and earlier releases

You can then pull the values required out of the current object.

For example:

javascript: var si = new global.TestEmailClient(); si.ToEmailOneParam(current);

(and then use code in the Script Include to pull out the needed values to decide what email address(es) to return)

Fix PRB1683312 (Email Client Templates using Javascript calls that send multiple parameters to a function fail due to a Javascript compiler exception) has been raised with our developers to consider a fix in a future release.
