g_scratchpad not working on UI Pages

[jasongriffiths]

So I am using a business rule on the sys_ui_page table triggered on display.   I even tried removing all filter conditions and still get the following in my client script:

Uncaught ReferenceError: g_scratchpad is not defined

Any idea why this would be happening.   I found an older thread referencing a business rule that is apparently no longer OOB in Istanbul

I am using a business rule on the sys_ui_page table that is trigger on "display".

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

    var util = new SMDBUtil();
    var limit = parseInt(util.getEnvProperty('com.xxxx.quicksearch.results.max'));

    g_scratchpad.limit = 'Note: QuickSearch is limited to ' + limit + ' results.';
    g_scratchpad.test1 = 'test';

})(current, previous);

client code:

$j("#QuickSearchLimit").text(g_scratchpad.test1);

also get the same error when attempting:

console.log(g_scratchpad.test1);

Oh interesting.   I thought you were trying to use the g_scratchpad within the markup or client script of an instance of a UI Page.

I'm guessing this should still work:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

    var util = new SMDBUtil();

    var limit = parseInt(util.getEnvProperty('com.xxxx.quicksearch.results.max'));

    //g_scratchpad.limit = 'Note: QuickSearch is limited to ' + limit + ' results.';

    gs.getSession().putClientData('limit', 'Note: QuickSearch is limited to ' + limit + ' results.');

    //g_scratchpad.test1 = 'test';

    gs.getSession().putClientData('test1', 'test');

})(current, previous);

//client-side

$j("#QuickSearchLimit").text(g_user.getClientData('test1'));

console.log(g_user.getClientData('test1'));

Any luck with this approach Jason?
