Special considerations for Validation field hooks

A validation hook will immediately fire on the ClearQuest Web client, but the form needs to be refreshed to see the results.

To create a Refresh button:

  1. Create a record script hook with no code inside and name it "Refresh".
  2. Create a button on the form and label this button "Refresh".
  3. Right-click on the button and select Properties.
  4. On the Extended tab, under the click hook field, select the refresh record script. Also make sure to select the click hook field in the Enable for web section.
The ClearQuest Web client user must click on the Refresh button to see the Validation hook fire on the Web.
