natemanley Capturing Validation Rule errors with API in an S-Control
I have created a very simple S-Control that is triggered as a pop-up from a button on the Lead Detail page.
The control is designed to make a small edit to the record then refresh the parent window and then close itself.
When a Validation Rule does not allow the Lead record to be updated I can not get the SaveResult object to return any errors. After looking at the success property I would assume the record had been updated however, no update occurrs.
How do I handle Validation Rule errors using the API in an S-Control???
The SaveResult.success property is true - which I would expect would be false.
The SaveResult.id field is blank - which is expected because no records were updated
The SaveResult.errors object is undefined - which I would expect would have the error message from the Validation Rule.
Here is my code...very simple:
var soql = "select Id, Status from Lead where id = '" + leadId + "' ";
var qryResult = sforce.connection.query(soql);
var leadQry = qryResult.getArray("records");
if (leadQry.length == 1)
{
leadQry[0]["Status"] = status;
var saveResult = sforce.connection.update(leadQry);
if (saveResult[0].success)
{
alert("Successfully submitted for approval.");
CloseWindow();
}
else
{
alert("Submit for Approval failed.\n\nError:\n" + saveResult[0].errors[0].message);
}
}

werewolfAre you sure the validation rule is really firing then? Is the validation rule active?
natemanleyYes. Absolutely positive. I have testing the rule many times using the standard interface and it works just fine.
