Calling a Script Include from a Scoped UI Action condition

[Katie A]

I am creating a new Scoped application. I want to call a Script Include from the CONDITION field of a UI Action.

Basically, I want the UI Action to appear only if the result of the script include is true.

I am unable to call the Script Include from the UI Action condition.

I have tried creating a Global script include and calling it in the UI Action condition with the fully-qualified name. I also tried making the Script Include in the SAME scope as the application. In both cases there are error messages in the log.

Script Include

Accessible from: All application scopes

Client Callable

API Name GLOBAL:

global.hasAttachments

API Name SCOPED :

x_myscp_infosec_sc.hasAttachments

var hasAttachments = Class.create();
hasAttachments.prototype = {
       initialize: function() {
       },
   countAttachments: function() {
   var attachments = new GlideRecord('sys_attachment');
   attachments.addQuery('table_sys_id',current.sys_id);
   attachments.query();
   if (attachments.hasNext()) {
   gs.info("Attachment file name: " + attachments.file_name + " created on: " + attachments.sys_created_on.getDisplayValue());
   return true;
   }
       type: 'hasAttachments'
   }
};

UI Action condition

Global

global.hasAttachments.countAttachments()==true

Scoped

x_myscp_infosec_sc.hasAttachments.countAttachments()==true

Error

org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: undefined is not a function.

Caused by error in UI Action: 'Send Attachments' at line -1

Oops, I missed this:

if (attachments.hasNext()) {     

       gs.info("Attachment file name: " + attachments.file_name + " created on: " + attachments.sys_created_on.getDisplayValue());     

       return true;     

}

Should be:

if (attachments.next()) {     

       gs.info("Attachment file name: " + attachments.file_name + " created on: " + attachments.sys_created_on.getDisplayValue());     

       return true;     

}

Otherwise you wont be moving to the actual record in the result set when you try to log the values.

Also, use the new keyword in your condition:

new global.hasAttachments().countAttachments(current);

You should be able to put this in your UI Action's scope, and simply mark it accessible to all application scopes to make it accessible to them.

hasAttachments is a fairly generic name, and it's possible there is something in the global execution context that has this name. I recomemnd trying to create the include with a more distinct name like "AttachmentUtility" or "CheckAttachment"- something you can be sure is not already defined in a global business rule, another Script Include, or provided by the base system.

Ok with your modifications I got this working. I created the Script Include in the Global scope with a more specific name and now I will be able to use this for my other scoped applications.

Thank you very much for your help again!

Hi ,

Can you please provide me the correct code which is working for you.

Client script and script include both.
