auto populating fields from a reference in UI Page

[yundlu316]

I created a UI Page that incorporates a reference field using <g:ui_reference>.   Field 13 in the below screenshot uses this code:  

<label> 13. Name of family member $[SP]<i>(last, first, middle initial)</i></label>

<g:ui_reference name="family_member_1" id="family_member_1" table="hr_beneficiary" query="active=true" completer="AJAXTableCompleter" columns="employee; beneficiary_contact.relationship" />

When a user chooses a beneficiary from the reference field, I want 14. SSN and 15. DOB to autopopulate.   If this was a regular Record Producer, I would have written an onChange client script on 13. Name of family member, but since this form is coded as a UI Page, I can't utilize g_form.   How would I go about autopopulating fields based on the reference chosen?

Thanks!

thanks abhinay, yea I think GlideAjax is the way to go, can you help me transform the above code into GlideAjax?   I tried following the examples in the Wiki without any luck.

Here is you script include code

Name: GetBeneficiaryDetails

Client callable:true

Script:

var GetBeneficiaryDetails = Class.create();
GetBeneficiaryDetails.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
   getDetails: function(){
   var obj = {};
   var usr= new GlideRecord('hr_beneficiary');
   usr.addQuery('employee',gs.getUserID());
   usr.addQuery('sys_id',this.getParameter('sysparm_id'));
   usr.query();
   if(usr.next()){
   var name = usr.beneficiary_contact.name;
   var arr2 = name.split(" ") ;
   var name2 = arr2[2] + ", " + arr2[1];
   obj.beneficiary_name = name2;
   obj.beneficiary_ssn = usr.getValue('ssn');
   obj.beneficiary_date_of_birth = usr.getValue('date_of_birth');
   obj.beneficiary_email = usr.beneficiary_contact.email;
   obj.beneficiary_mobile=usr.beneficiary_contact.mobile_phone;
   obj.beneficiary_relationship=usr.beneficiary_contact.relationship;
   obj.beneficiary_percentage=usr.getValue('percentage');
   obj.beneficiary_address=usr.beneficiary_contact.address;
   }
   var data = JSON.stringify(obj);
   return data;
   },
   type: 'GetBeneficiaryDetails'
});

Client script for UI page:

var ga = new GlideAjax('GetBeneficiaryDetails');

ga.addParam('sysparm_name','getDetails');

ga.addParam('sysparm_id', $('family_member_1').value);

ga.getXML(CallBack);

function CallBack(response) {

    var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

    var rec=JSON.parse(answer);

  $('fm1_ssn').value=rec.beneficiary_ssn;

  $('fm1_dob').value= rec.beneficiary_date_of_birth;

}

THANKS abhinay!   When I run it, I get the following error:

AbstractAjaxProcessor undefined, maybe missing global qualifier

Hi Abhinay,

  I have tapped all the threads for this same issue but I have a different scenario.   I have a UI page created in Catalog form with Group Role Variable.

  This Group Role( UI Page) should list the values based on the Classification Field from the form. So basically, I have to query the value of the classification and when the UI page Group Role field( reference) is selected. The result should show only based on the selection I made above in my classification field.

    To brief, I have to use onchange client script on the variable and then apply the value in UI Page Variable referencing the Catalog Variable..

Thanks

Shankar
