When the checkbox of this field " This request is for myself " is true then auto populate as logged in user otherwise not

1 This request is for myself :  [ ✔️]

2 Requested for : should autopopulate logged in user

Hi @Dhanaja Rode 

Simply you can write a onChange client script and populate the logged in user using GlideUser API and g_form.setValue('req for var backend name',g_user.userID)

var userID = g_user.userID;

   alert('Current user ID = ' + userID);

Hello @Dhanaja Rode ,

Please give a try to the code below and let me know how it works for you.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
  if (isLoading || newValue === '')
    return;

  // Get the checkbox value
  var isForMyself = g_form.getValue('this_request_for_myself');

  // Get the Requested for field element
  var requestedForField = g_form.getControl('requested_for');

  // If the checkbox is checked, auto-populate with the logged-in user
  if (isForMyself) {
    var loggedInUser = g_user.userID;
    g_form.setValue('requested_for', loggedInUser);
    // Optionally, you can disable the Requested for field if it's auto-populated
    requestedForField.disabled = true;
  } else {
    // If the checkbox is unchecked, clear the Requested for field
    g_form.setValue('requested_for', '');
    // Optionally, you can enable the Requested for field if it was disabled
    requestedForField.disabled = false;
  }
}

This script assumes that the checkbox field has the variable name 'this_request_for_myself' and the Requested for field has the variable name 'requested_for'. Adjust the variable names accordingly based on your actual field names.

Let me know your views on this and Mark ✅Correct if this solves your query and also mark 👍Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
