Field attributes on UI Page

[peterraeves]

I created a UI Page that asks two CIs. In a regular record I would give them the attributes

1. ref_auto_completer=AJAXReferenceChoice
2. tree_picker=true

Now, I want to do the same on a UI Page. I have looked a bit for this, and cannot get any further than two regular reference fields. I cannot get them to behave like a dropdown or tree-picker. So I was wondering whether this is even possible?

Hi Peter,

Fields on UI pages may not support all attributes supported by the built in counterparts. For best information, take a look at the comments section on the UI macro corresponding to that field. For example ui_reference

Yeah I already did, but was hoping for an alternative I guess there was none. I'll try to find a workaround then, thanks.

Such is the fun of UI pages and UI macros.

It seems that after few years the problem is still not solved. I think ServiceNow doesn't support Jelly anymore, that's why.

But... Is there any workaround? Perhaps there is a way to force changing the target attribute autocomplete="off" to "on" (by  modifying DOM directly, after processing UI Page with <g:ui_reference> tag).
