Display Confirm Dialog Using JavaScript Example

Suppose you want to set an item value if OK button pressed on confirm dialog. You can create a dynamic action on a button or an item to execute the JavaScript code when the button clicked or on the change event of an item. Add the following JavaScript code:

apex.message.confirm( "Are you sure to do this?", function( okPressed ) { 
if( okPressed ) {
   apex.item("P1_YOURITEM").setValue("Y"); 
   // change the item above with your page item
} 
});

Also, set the affected item as the P1_YOURITEM in the dynamic action you created to execute the above JavaScript code. Below is the screenshot for your reference:

Ask for confirmation using JavaScript dialog.

To perform more tasks on OK button pressed, you can create a dynamic action on the item P1_YOURITEM to execute PL/SQL code, show/hide elements, etc on the change event.

To perform an action, if the Cancel button clicked on the confirmation dialog, add an else statement. Below is an example:

apex.message.confirm( "Are you sure to reject this work order?", function( okPressed ) { 
if( okPressed ) {
   apex.item("P1_YOURITEM").setValue("Y");
} else {
   // this code will execute if cancel button pressed
   apex.item("P1_YOURITEM").setValue("N");
}
});
