Here are a couple useful tools when you need to do some scripting.  They are list view Context Menus:

...and form UI Actions:

They will either popup a window with a script template based on the filter of the list view, or the sys_id of the form record:

...open the Background Script page in a new tab/window: and pre-populate the script text box a half second later, giving the page enough time to load:

...or open a new Xplore: Developer Toolkit window:

I will often use these tools whenever I need to script something.  I'll start off with a list and filter it down to how I need it and then copy the template result and paste it wherever I need it and modify as required.

 

The "Preview" menus require a separate UI Page used to display the results.  The "Xplore" one requires the "Xplore: Developer Toolkit" to be installed separately, available here on the Share site.

 

The XML files have been attached for you to import into your instance.  As always, try it out in your company's development instance first, or better yet, your own personal development instance.
