It needs to do it on load. There is not a physical trigger on the form. The value is passed from a previous form.

If the submitter from the previous form is anonymous, it will terminate the process if the reviewer tries to send it back to them for more info. I need a way top prevent them from doing this. 

If the user is a licensed user, then the button should allow the reviewer to send it back for more info.

My hidden field is called HiddenUser.

Hi Mary Lou

Have you considered changing your workflow and using an Exclusive Gateway that would test for the Anonymous User Value, and if so route it to a task that doesn't have the option to route back to the submitter. This way you stay away from coding and accomplish the same thing. Example could be something like this

From the Yes & No Task, you could have them go to the same task

Just an FYI, JS will not read the data from the form if in the Task, under the Forms Tab, "Make form read-only for users the task is assigned to" is checked

This would hide the Reject button on form load if the field contained a certain value

$(document).ready(function() {

    if ($('#q3 input').val() == "Jiminy Cricket" )

    {
    $('.Reject').hide();
    }

});

For the 3 different buttons

    $('.Submit').hide();

    $('.Approve').hide();

    $('.Reject').hide();

Still couldn't get this to work. I think it is the trigger event. I will rethink my process and try to come up with a different solution.

Is the Form set to Read Only when it is open in this task?
