How to show certain section in a form post save of record.

sreeshsurendran · ‎02-25-2025

The requirement is to show certain section in a form post save of record ServiceNow. Not sure how this can be done, I tried via onLoad Client script but seems this is the wrong approach.

Any help would be greateful.

Thanks,

@sreeshsurendran

you can check if record is new and if not then show the section using this syntax

function onLoad() {
	// hide it
    g_form.setSectionDisplay('section_name', false);
    if (!g_form.isNewRecord()) {
		// show it if it's an existing record
        g_form.setSectionDisplay('section_name', true);
    }
}

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
