Create popup form using UI Macro

Hi,

 

I have been tasked with creating a button on Problem Task form section that will open up a modal popup where the user will fill out certain fields.  Once the user hits okay on the modal popup it will create a record on a separate custom table.  I know that I can do this with UI Actions and UI Page and I suggested using the UI Action instead, but the customer wants to have the button directly on the form.  So UI Macro is my option.

 

I know that I would need to create a UI Macro that calls a UI Page.  What I need help with is how to pass a couple values from the ticket to the UI Macro and then pass the values to the UI Page.

 

There are 3 fields that I need on the popup form.

1. Problem sys id

2. Problem Task sys id

3. Comments box

 

Numbers 1 and 2 will be auto-populated from the problem task.  Number 3 is what the client will fill out.

 

Any ideas on accomplishing this?  I am still trying to convince them to use UI Action, but until then I still need to find an answer for this.  Any help would be appreciated.
