Copy image field from one form field to order record form field via script ...

[Zod]

HI,

I'm using a ui action and use current record information to create a new record. The initial form includes an image field and I'd like to copy the image to the new field ... 

....

gr.u_new_image_field = current.u_image_field; does not work for image fields .. is there an easy way to do that?

[Zod]

This looks like it could work - IF both fields would be called the same 😉

Unfortunately the don't. One is u_icon (source).. the other is icon (target) ... any why to manipulate this easily?

I manged it ... with renaming it again afterwards ... but does not look like a good programming method 😉

Please tell me if you have a way to put it right from the beginning ..

thank you!

var ids = GlideSysAttachment.copy('ZZ_YYsc_cat_item','current.sys_id','ZZ_YYsc_cat_item','destinationsys_id');

var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_attachment");
gr.addQuery("sysid", ids);
gr.query();
if (gr.next()) {
gr.setValue('file_name', 'u_icon.jpg');
gr.update();
}

yeah. ok.

Did it nearly like this.

Somehow still not nice but it works.

Thanks a lot!!

Strange that SN does not provide more easy functions OOB ...

Try copy method of GlideSysAttachment. See here. It seems to me exactly what you need.
