addFormMessage doesn't work in UI Action for custom tables

[Pascal P]

Hi,

I am trying to do a simple UI Action, visible in Lists, running on the Client Side, that displays a simple message. 
I tried it on the Task table, and any extended table, like Incident, and it worked perfectly. (See image below)

When I put the UI Action on a custom table I created, I get the message "Uncaught ReferenceError: addFormMessage is not defined".

I also tried using g_form functions, and still get an error saying g_form is not defined.

Is there an attribute on a configuration we need to put on our custom tables to have access to these functions ?

Thanks !

Hi @Pascal P,

Uncheck cliënt checkbox and use gs.addInfoMessage('text') instead.

Thanks for the answer but I really need it to be Client-side. I wanted to simplify the situation by omitting details, but my UI Action also does other things, like opening a UI Page and asking user's input. As I said, It worked on the Tasks tables... so I know it is possible. I just don't know how.

You can try these bellow codes, and modify them as per your need:

function submitForm(){

 if(confirm(getMessage("TEST TEST TEST."))){

   // run Server Action

   gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'sysverb_insert'); // this refers to the "Action name"

 }

 else{

   return false; // cancel action if confirm response is false/cancel

 }

}

//Code that runs without 'onclick'

if(typeof window == 'undefined')

 runPricingBusRuleCode(); // call Server code

//Server-side

function runPricingBusRuleCode(){

 current.phase = "In Definition";

 current.u_backed_out = "true";

 current.u_cab_approved = "false";

 action.setRedirectURL(current);

}

Seems like something is missing on your custom table/app.  Absent finding that, try defining g_form before using it:

var g_form=new GlideForm();
g_form.addInfoMessage('Test');
