CodeX Scripts - Intro
CodeX Scripts let you define custom logic that runs automatically when users interact with tasks or projects. It allows users to control how the module behaves based on certain conditions. Users can write scripts using JavaScript SDKs to trigger actions before or after a record is created or updated. Users with CodeX Scripts permission can configure and manage CodeX Scripts.
CodeX Scripts are currently available as a limited release. To enable this feature for your portal, please contact support@zohoprojects.comWhat Can You Achieve Using CodeX Scripts?
- Validate conditions and prompt custom restriction messages within the project and task module.
- Connect with external apps using HTTP requests.
- Automatically update tasks or project details based on conditions.
- Retrieve and update other project records in your portal.
For example, in a project, if you want to restrict your project members from creating subtasks for a closed task or an active task, you can use the CodeX Scripts to write in the code using the objects and the methods, to execute on a trigger such as "Before Create" and save.
Script:
This will prompt your project members with an alert that the subtasks cannot be created for this task when the user tries to create a subtask.
Execution:
Code used in this case:
- function main() {
- let task = current.record;
- /**
- *
- * @type Number
- */
- let startDate = task.start_date;
- Logger.info('Parent ID: ' + task.parent_task);
- Logger.info('Root Task ID: ' + task.root_task);
- // console.log(JSON.stringify(variables.blockSubTasks));
- if(task.parent_task || task.root_task) {
- Logger.info("Subtask creation is disabled");
- throw new ScriptError("You cannot create a subtask");
- }
- //Similar case >>> Subtasks shouldn't be created under the closed parent task.
- }
