Hello,

Edit the file custom/modules/Accounts/metadata/editviewdefs.php or if this file don't exists copy modules/Accounts/metadata/editviewdefs.php to this folder and then edit to that:

     'templateMeta' => 
    array (
      'form' => 
      array (
        'buttons' => 
        array (
          0 => 
          array (
        'customCode' => '<input type="submit" value="{$APP.LBL_SAVE_BUTTON_LABEL}" name="button" onclick="this.form.action.value=\'Save\'; 
        return my_verification();" class="button" accesskey="{$APP.LBL_SAVE_BUTTON_KEY}" title="{$APP.LBL_SAVE_BUTTON_TITLE}"/>',
      ),
          1 => 'CANCEL',
        ),
      ),
      'maxColumns' => '2',
      'widths' => 
      array (
        0 => 
        array (
          'label' => '10',
          'field' => '30',
        ),
        1 => 
        array (
          'label' => '10',
          'field' => '30',
        ),
      ),
      'includes' => 
      array (
        0 => 
        array (
          'file' => 'modules/Accounts/Account.js',
        ),
        1 => 
        array (
          'file' => 'custom/modules/Accounts/MyVerification.js',
        ),
      ),
    ), 
  

See that in the onclick of the save button I call the function my_verification(); and in the includes I include MyVerification.js, so you need to do this file with this function:

MyVerification.js

 function check_phones(){
 
       //Put your confirmation here
    
    return check_form('EditView');
} 
  

You can use the function and the file with the name you want but don't remove the "return check_form('EditView');" part because this part will make the validation of fields (required fields, int fields, etc.).


I hope it helps,
