i have a work flow group form and when you click on each workflow group you can add resources to them.

1 resource can be only added to 1 work flow group.

i have a client form where i have a resource allocation tab and in that i can add new resources to a client.
so, for example, if jay is assigned to workflow group 2 (WG2) than that resource cannot be added to workflow group 3 (WG3)

So in the Screenshot below i have added jay to be part of (WG3) but jay was initially added to (WG 2)
when user tries to save this they should get an error saying jay belongs to a wg2

I was told to use a javascript web resource to achieve this. This is the javascript i have got so far and it is triggering on save even of the form.

function validateResourceWorkflowGroup(executionContext) {
var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

// Get the selected Resource and Workflow Group values
var resourceId = formContext.getAttribute("icando_resource").getValue();
var workflowGroupId = formContext
.getAttribute("icando_workflowgroup")
.getValue();

I would recommend to no use that on save. In save you need to cancel the process before do it your validation.

You must use the onChange() of the lookup field, and once the validation occurs you can set a error so the system will not allow the user to save the record because has error in the form validation. You can achieve that using AddNotification,

you can add the notification of type error on the field and it can show a custom message and will block to save the record. it will be more cleaner e easy to manage that.
