applyTemplate() method not available in scoped applications

[cmcclendon]

I'm writing a custom application in the Fuji release, which requires scoped applications. When I try to use the applyTemplate() method in an OnSubmit Business Rule, I receive an error stating that this method is not supported in scoped applications. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I had the same issue. I had to roll my own "applyTemplate" function. You could probably use this as a boilerplate, it works for my needs.

var applyTemplate = function(template,record){
   if(template.getTableName() !== 'sys_template'){ return false;}
   var fields = template.template.replace('^EQ','').split('^');
   for(var i in fields){
       var kv = fields[i].split('=');
       var k = kv[0];
       var v = kv[1];
       if(record.hasOwnProperty(k)){
               try {
                       record[k] = v;
               } catch (e) {
                       return false;
               }             
       }     
   }
};

This worked for me

var sys_id_of_template = '56a8e507db6b26405accd5f0cf96190b';   
var grObj = new GlideRecord('incident');   
var t =   new GlideTemplate.get(sys_id_of_template);   
t.apply(grObj);

This is handy, but I couldn't find GlideTemplate in the documentation.   Does that mean using it is not supported?

That is a question only ServiceNow themselves can answer
