    Hi ArG,

    I see, I think this community blog post is what you're looking for then [emoticon:1435ff2429184e17bc948e4f19178e1e]. It explains how to create a custom modal dialog asking the user for text input as a client method.

Hi ArG,

You wouldn't have access to the form through a lifecycle since a server side method (required) would not be able to communicate with the client (which can call a popup action). You also would not be able to use a client method, as a replacement, since the pre method requires a server method.

However, a workaround solution to this could be using the newError() method that returns a popup containing a string you can specify. This way if the user misses a field for a example, you can display this popup and require the field be completed in order for anything to be applied to the server.

Best,

Nithin

    Hi Nithin,

    Thanks for reply.

    I understand that  client can't be called from server. but usecase is to show modal dialog to capture user comment. It is not popup actually. correction in question [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]

    I am trying to modify javascript code present for on click of promote button, so that i can show required form based on my validation. Any idea on this ?

    Thanks

        Thanks for the help. That is what i am looking for. 50% job is done.

        executing that ,once promote is done is the part which i am unable to do.

        It is not every time i need modal after promote, but only  when validation fails.

        trying to call above code in js file present for handling promote(PromoteDialog.js)
