Apply Template UI Action

[rosasmig]

Everyone,

I need to apply a specific template on and Onclick UI Action.

I ´m trying to use the applyTemplate method by using a GlideRecord variable, and initialize it after declaring it   but it is not working any ideas?

Got information from Scripted templates

see bellow:

Onclick: btemps

function () btemps {

var rec1 = new GlideRecord("incident");

rec1.initialize();

rec1.applyTemplate("my_incident_template");

}

--

Thanks

Miguel

That is the code to apply templates is server side and won't work on a client side UI action.

The code you have given is client side; current.applyTemplate will not work. There is also some syntax issues.

The code below should work for you

function   btemps () {
         applyTemplate(sys_id_of_my_incident_template);
}

Just a heads up - similar functionality to what you are asking for is available in Geneva.

There is a new Template bar at the bottom of each form and you can click on any template from there to populate the form.

Hey Paul, it worked as expected.. it ´s kind of tricky to know when you need to add sys_ids ´s to methods so they work..

Thanks for your help!!
