Can we use "current" in Script include

[Sachin G K1]

As we know, to access server side value we use make use object "current" in Business Rule. Similarly can we use object "current" in "Script Include". If not what are other ways to access server side value in script include except "GlideRecord".

Hello @Sachin G K ,

yes you can use current object in a script include 

try calling a script include from a BR and lets say if your script is on incident table 

and you write current.number you will get the incident number 

HERE IS ONE EXAMPLE 

Refer to this below link for detailed explanation

Hi Mohith,

Script include function:

getdetails: function() {
        
       return gs.addInfoMessage(current.caller_id.email);
        

    },

i accessed the "current" in script include as you suggested and it worked. But suppose we want to pass this to client script how to do this?

I tried access it in client script like below but didn't work:

Script Include:

getdetails: function() {
        
       return current.caller_id.email;
        

    }

Client Script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
   if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
      return;
   }

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
    var ga=new GlideAjax("AbstractAjaxProcessor");
    ga.addParam("sysparm_name","getdetails");
    ga.getXML(res);
    function res(response){
        var answer=response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
        g_form.addInfoMessage(answer);
    }

Hello @Sachin G K YOU CAN TRY THIS 

Make sure our script include is client callable 

and i noticed that there was typo error in "return" keyword so i corrected it .

it should work i guess now give a try with below scripts

script include :

getdetails: function() {
        
       return current.caller_id.email.toString();
        

    }

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
   if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
      return;
   }

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
    var ga=new GlideAjax("AbstractAjaxProcessor");
    ga.addParam("sysparm_name","getdetails");
    ga.getXML(res);
}
    function res(response){
        var value=response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
        g_form.addInfoMessage(value);
    }
