Autopopulate variable

[Cindy Sim]

Could anyone suggest how I can prepopulate variable with the value in catalog item form itself?

This is a variable, and you can assign a default value to it.

I tried this but this approach is not working in this case as the value is not static and also one field is in the cat item form itself and variable.

Then you need to write a client script and build the logic.

Hi @Cindy Sim ,

Create an onload catalog client script

Client callable script include

// Name: GetCatalogOwner
// Accessible from: Client Callable = true

var GetCatalogOwner = Class.create();
GetCatalogOwner.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
    
    getOwnerName: function() {
        var itemSysId = this.getParameter('sysparm_item_id');
        var gr = new GlideRecord('sc_cat_item');
        if (gr.get(itemSysId)) {
            var owner = gr.owner.getDisplayValue();
            return owner;
        }
        return '';
    }
});

Catalog onload client script

// Type: onLoad
function onLoad() {
    var ga = new GlideAjax('GetCatalogOwner');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getOwnerName');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_item_id', g_form.getUniqueValue()); // Gets the current Catalog Item sys_id
    ga.getXMLAnswer(function(response) {
        var ownerName = response;
        if (ownerName) {
            g_form.setValue('your_target_field', ownerName); // Replace 'your_target_field' with the actual field name
        }
    });
}

Please mark my answer as helpful/correct if it resolves your query.
