Trigger check of unsaved data with a custom object

[FrancoisNal1]

Hello everyone,

I have build a custom object who retrieve data from the record to send it through Ajax to an external system. To make it more reliable, I would like to make sure that the current record is saved before sending the data.

I though of using the check that Archer makes before leaving an incident (the warning for unsaved data). How could I make possible with javascript to trigger this check?

So far I have build a button looking as close as possible to the "close", "view", etc buttons but with no success. Nothing happen when clicking on the button even though I have modified some fields.

Here is my test code, I'm using a Archer 6.4:

<div style="width:5%; display:inline-block; padding-top:1px;">
	<a id="master_btnTest" class="tb-btn-link-left" href="javascript:test_test()" title="Test" aria-disabled="false" role="button" data-check-dirty="true">
		<div class="tb-btn " data-icon-pos="left" data-icon="">Test</div>
	</a>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
	function test_test()
	{
		console.log("test");
	}
</script>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

François

This thread might give you some insights.. You can call the "close" button when someone hits your custom button.

Thanks Arun, but I'm not trying to reproduce a close button or any existing button. I want an independent button that will trigger my own script with a check for unsaved data as the same time.
