Does anyone know how to pass a value from a UI Page back to a UI Action before running more code afterwards?

[Avery Brown]

Hello, I have a requirement to create popup confirm window with a hyperlink that will be triggered from a UI Action. I've accomplished creating the UI Page. Now where I'm having a problem, is there additional code in the UI Action that needs to run based on the user confirming the first popup window. 

Currently, when the button is clicked, the DialogWindow opens, and the rest of the code runs automatically at the same time. (Which subsequently will open a second dialog window over the first.)

Hi,

you can call the function defined in UI action from UI page client script like this

myFunction();

Now in the UI Action add this

function myFunction(){

// your lines from 15 onwards which are client side including gsftSubmit if any

}

Hi,

Example for OOB

UI Action: Cancel Change

UI Page: change_confirm_cancel

Here's a previous post on a very similar topic. It uses GlideModal() and renderWithContent() to achieve a very similar goal (with a bonus of having all of the HTML for the GlideModal dialog in the script itself, without having to create a separate page).
