Adding a warning message to a task form

lilianc over 7 years ago

Hello Appian Community

I'm upgrading a QuickApp to validate days off in my team: users fill a form with a start date, an end date and his current project team then when submitted a task is sent to supervisors to validate the day off request.
I'd like to create a warning message that would appear on the validation interface when at least 2 users have sent days off requests for the same date.
You can find an example in the mock up attached.

What I'd like to do is displaying a message when a validator reads a task matching the case above (as read-only forms). I don't know what expression to use.
I'm new to this so your help would be really appreciated :)

@Lilian, it seems that you would need to set up a query such that it returns all requests where there are overlapping days off. Then, you would set up a simple if() statement that says, if there are overlapping days, return a sectionLayout above your existing one with a richtextField displaying your message. If not, display nothing. I'm not sure if this answers your question, but if you give more specifics on your question, hopefully I can help more.
