Request you to please check validation code

Dear Raghu,

In order for the functionality to start working, you need to either place an event listener, which will be listening for the column value change, or call the parent implementation of basic validator method. You can do that in two ways.

First approach is based on our basic functionality: addColumnValidator() method. I can see, that you have chosen this way, though, you need to call addColumnValidator inside the setValidationConfig method. This is due to the fact, that the parent implementation of the setValidationConfig() method must be called before calling the addColumnValidator() method to correctly initialize validators of the base page fields.

setValidationConfig: function() {
   // Calls the initialization of validators for the parent view model.
   this.callParent(arguments);
    // The dobValidator() validate method is added to the [UsrDateofbirth] column.
    this.addColumnValidator("UsrDateofbirth", this.dobValidator);
}

Second approach does not use basic validator functionality. You can write a validation method (like dobValidator()) and add change event listener to the onEntityInitialized function. In such way you indicate, that once the column value gets changed(inserted), the system will run the custom validator method. In the method block, please add the following:

onEntityInitialized: function() {
   this.callParent(arguments);
   //which [column] should trigger a validation [method]
   this.on("change:[column]", this.[method], this);
}

Hi Sir/Madam,

I have called addColumnValidator inside the setValidationConfig method still I'm not getting the error message

  methods: { 
 
        setValidationConfig: function() {                
                this.callParent(arguments);

Dear Raghu,

The error message does not appear, because of the errors in the validation function. Please consider rewriting the birthDay variable, since it passes date to new Date() method in a wrong format.

Sincerely,
