check_form equivalent in sugarcrm 7.x

Hi All,

I have to port over sugar customization from version 6.x to 7.x and I have a question regarding check_form function.

in the 6.x version there is a function called check_form and we can customize it by adding our own version of check_form in a javascript file and we include that javascript file in, says editviews.php.

what is the equivalent function of check_form in sugarcrm 7.x?

my customization is adding a validation (not a field validation) when users click the save button, it will hit a specific entrypoint and then it will return back the value.

based on the value returned it will pop up a dialog or it will let the users save the changes.

It would be this.model.addValidationTask() in the record.js controller for the given module.

Thanks Angel you are the best!.
I do have a follow up question, I don't know if I should create a different thread because it's somewhat related.
Based on this document: http://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_7.6/UI_Model/Views/Examples/Adding_Field…
I need to specify the offending field that cause the validation to fail.
but I am not trying to validate a specific field or any field for that matter. I am trying to validate the return value of a function.
so what should I put in the errors array?
_doValidateCheckType: function(fields, errors, callback) { //validate type requirements if (this.model.get('account_type') == 'Customer' && _.isEmpty(this.model.get('phone_office'))) { errors['phone_office'] = errors['phone_office'] || {}; errors['phone_office'].required = true; } callback(null, fields, errors); },
