Create a Service Catalog client script

You can create client scripts to customize the catalog.

About this task

Use catalog client scripts to control the behavior of the catalog items when presented to your users. Catalog client scripts can be applied to a catalog item or a variable set. These scripts run on the browser instead of the server, allowing you to better control the information that the user submits.

The priority order for g_form APIs is:

Mandatory (highest)
ReadOnly/Display

If a variable is set to mandatory and does not have value, readonly or hide do not work on that variable. If a variable is hidden or readonly, and then set to mandatory, the variable field becomes visible or editable.

This priority order is also applicable for variable sets and containers. If a variable set or container has a mandatory variable without any value, then the container or variable set cannot be hidden.
