Why is Mandatory field in UI policy actions read-only in Scoped application?

[Priya Shekar]

Any reason why Mandatory field in UI policy actions is read-only in Scoped applications..

[Pradeep Sharma]

Thanks for the update. I can confirm that this is not the OOB behaviour.

Right click on the mandatory field and make sure that it is not set read only from the dictionary.

I checked in Dictionary, it is not set to read-only.

This is the onload client script written in UI policy action table

function onLoad() {
limitUIPolicyActionsOnLoadOnOutOfScopeTables();
}

function limitUIPolicyActionsOnLoadOnOutOfScopeTables() {
var tableName = g_form.getValue("table");
if(!isTableInScope(tableName)) {
  g_form.setReadOnly("mandatory",true);
} else {
  g_form.setReadOnly("mandatory",false);
}
}

function isTableInScope(tableName) {
if(tableName == "")
  return true;
var allowedTables = g_scratchpad.inScopeTableList;
for(var i = 0;i<allowedTables.length;i++) {
  if(allowedTables[i] == tableName) {
    return true;
  }
}
return false;
}

Scratchpad variable is defined in the below script:

var FetchAllowedScopedTables = Class.create();

FetchAllowedScopedTables.prototype = {

initialize: function() {

},

fetchAllowedScopedTables: function () {

  var scopedTables = GlideSystemUtilDB.getInScopeTables();

  var allowedTables = [];

  var numScopedTables = scopedTables.size();

  for(var i=0; i<numScopedTables; i++)

    allowedTables.push(scopedTables.get(i));

  var scopedDBViews = GlideSystemUtilDB.getInScopeDBViews();

  var numScopedDBViews = scopedDBViews.size();

  for(var i=0; i<numScopedDBViews; i++)

    allowedTables.push(scopedDBViews.get(i));

  g_scratchpad.inScopeTableList = allowedTables;

  g_scratchpad.isGlobalScope = !GlideSystemUtilDB.isScopedApp();

},

type: 'FetchAllowedScopedTables'

};

In the above script if we see, all the scoped tables are stored in the scratchpad "g_scratchpad.inScopeTableList" .This is not allowing the mandatory field to be editable in UI policy action table.

[Tim Boelema]

I think that's causing the issue: the script. your setting the field values to read only. And your ui pol says to leave it alone.

These scripts are available in the Fuji instance by default. It is not created by any user.
