Can I get the variable name in a Catalog Client Script?

peterraeves · ‎08-01-2017

In an onchange script on variable 'name_of_var', how can I get the name of that variable inside the script?

For example in this code:

var field = ???
g_form.hideFieldMsg(field, true);
<check something>
g_form.showFieldMsg(field, msg, 'error');

What should I put into the first line to get the name of the variable on which this current CCS is running?

I understand.

Maybe, some tweak : you "hardcode" the Sys_id of the variable name.

The name could change but the sys_id will remain unchanged.

With a GlideRecord, you can get the variable name from its sys_id.

From Where catalog variable's value are stored ? , it seems that the varaible table is : sc_item_option_mtom

Hello Peter,

use g_form.getValue("variabloe name");

Try this:

g_form.getLabelOf('variable name'); // see the syntax once
