Unknown function recordService\throwForbidden when used with Before-save formula

[william34]

Hi,

I am using an formula to check if 'website' url contains @ or / character. I want to raise error if this character is found in url.

I am getting error in log file when using formula as recordService/forbidden is not function.

$site = website;

if (string\contains($site, '@') || string\contains($site, '/')){
    //throw exception as not allowed to user.
    
    recordService\throwForbidden('Error url contain @ , /');
}​

If I look at https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...throwforbidden

it looks like you need to use " instead of '

recordService\throwForbidden("Not allowed to change status.");

Hi,

See https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...cial-functions

These functions are available only in API Before-Save Script. Using them in other places will produce an error.

Hi yuri,

I am using it in Lead formula . Which is in website at
Admin > Entity Manger > Lead > Formula.

Is Lead formula Before-Save script?

[ThomasB]

Which version of EspoCRM are you using? You need at least version 7.5.x

Admin > Entity Manger > Lead > Formula -> API Before-Save Script


If you click on Formular you should have two options: Before Save Custom Script and API Before-Save Script.

It was on version 7.4.5

Version 7.5 is required. Upgraded and now it available.



Thank you, ThomasB and yuri.
You have been a great help. 😊
