Adding Temporary fields to UI View

Hi,

I have created a view for Incident and am using GlideDialogwindow to show that view.

I have a requirement to add 2 fields to be displayed on the window and then control behaviour.

I see 2 options here

- add the 2 new customer fields to incident object and then use those

- implement a custom UI Page instead of using the view

Is there any other best way to implement this?

Can you just add the two fields to the view you're showing in the popup? I'm not sure I understand your question.


The 2 fields i am talking about are just to control some behavior for the UI Action, so i am looking at an option where i don't have to add these 2 fields to the underlying object.( incident in this case)

You could add some parameters or use a callback function to pass a couple of values and do some scripting on the form. Check out this post:

Thanks Brad.



I am using a similar code.


The Only different thing is that i also need to display those checkboxes in the GlideDialogForm without them being added to the incident table. I can always add these fields to the incident table but am looking for alternatives as these fields just control some behaviour and are not going to be used for reports.
