Included in the Developer Toolbox Update Set available on Share (link to Share in the post).
We are adding quite a bit of information to the g_scratchpad object on a project I'm involved with at the moment so I decided to create a quick tool to help us see what all ends up there. It's a simple client-side Related Link UI Action that pops up a window with the current contents:
Here's the configuration for the UI Action:
Name: Show Contents of g_scratchpad
Table: Global
Order: 200,000
Action name: u_fpc_show_contents_of_g_scratchpad
Active: checked
Show insert: checked
Show update: checked
Client: checked
Form link: checked
Messages: u_fpc_show_contents_of_g_scratchpad.modal.title
Hint: Displays the contents of the g_scratchpad object in a popup window (FPC)
Onclick: uFpcShowContentsOfGScratchpad()
Condition: gs.hasRole("admin")
Script:
function uFpcShowContentsOfGScratchpad(){
var newLine = "\n";
var scratchPad = [];
var items = Object.keys(g_scratchpad);
items.sort(); //sort the item names alphabetically in case they are not already
var numberOfItems = items.length;
for (var i = 0; i < numberOfItems; i++) {
scratchPad.push(items[i] + " = " + JSON.stringify(g_scratchpad[items[i]]));
}
//encode the string so it can be passed to the UI Page properly and then decoded there
scratchPad = encodeURIComponent(scratchPad.join(newLine));
//open the dialog window
var gdw = new GlideDialogWindow("u_fpc_simple_copy_paste");
gdw.setTitle(getMessage("u_fpc_show_contents_of_g_scratchpad.modal.title"));
gdw.setSize(650, 500);
gdw.setPreference("sysparm_text", scratchPad);
gdw.render();
}
The UI Action requires the "Simple Copy/Paste" UI Page to actually display the information.
I've attached the XML files for both the UI Action and the UI Message if you want to just import them into your instance.
