Check the value in metadata field

[Katy]

I am trying to do a check on managed metadata field, but can't make it work. Please, help me. I am using this code:

function setSSRoles() {
if (fd.field('Facility').control()._el().find('.ms-taxonomy').value() == 'E001 - Corporate') {
alert('Corporate');
}
}
fd.field('Facility').change(setSSRoles);
setSSRoles();

And i tried to put the whole GUID line into value() == as well

Hi,
Please, read the thread:

Yes, I've read it... my alert doesn't come at all: even if the value is already there, not just on change; and I don't know how to check specific value of a field... I'll re-read again, maybe I'm missing something...

The code below shows an alert box when a user changes a taxonomy field:

Code: Select all

var container = fd.field('InternalName').control()._el().find('.ms-taxonomy').get(0);
container.JavascriptOnValidation = "alert('Managed metadata changed!')";

I don't really need to check it on change: i need to check if a certain text is there -> if the field = X. I don't actually need to check on change as this is on Edit form already.

The following code returns all tags with their identifiers. Then you can check if a particular value is there with the indexOf function: https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_indexof.asp

Code: Select all

var container = fd.field('Tags').control()._el().find('.ms-taxonomy').get(0);
var taxCtlObj = new Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.ControlObject(container);
var termValue = taxCtlObj.getRawText();
