Conditional Reset Button with Confirmation

I'm trying to implement a reset button in Oracle APEX that:

Shows a confirmation dialog (P1002_CONF_MESSAGE item) only if any form fields were modified

Resets immediately if no changes exist.

Is that possible without using javascript?

Solution

  • Very minimal.

    Create a dynamic action on click of your reset button, with a client side condition of a JavaScript expression apex.page.isChanged()

    The true condition would need to show your confirmation dialog, which could be a Confirm action, sourcing the message from your item using &P1002_CONF_MESSAGE.

    And a subsequent submit action, presumably with request RESET. The false action would solely be a submit action.
