Call JS-Function from catalog item script in catalog variables "Default value"

[Vespertinus]

Hello SNow community,

i have often used "javascript:gs.getUserDisplayName()" in catalog items variables "Default value" field to dynamically set logged in user.

I now also want to call a function stored in catalog item script (type onLoad) to dynamically load values.

Variable:

Eg "javascript:mycustomclientscriptfunction()" -> "Default value"

Catalog Item script (onLoad):

function mycustomclientscriptfunction(){

  return 'test';

}

Unfortunately this did not work. How to achieve this? Any hints ideas? Maybe there is a better way to go with "overall" ScriptIncludes? Do you have some samples for this?

Thx a lot and best regards

Hallo Brad, thanks for clarification. Do you have a sample for calling a script include from default value? I have not seen this so far. As i "simply" want to preload some data, i want to avoid bigger catalog item script (client side).

Thx & br,

Vesp

Hey,

"javascript: new ScriptIncludeName().FunctionName()"

Thanks for all the fast replies. With samples from Brads link i could manage to directly use needed Javascript in Default Value field (without calling catalog item script or script include).
