gel('sysparm_item_guid').value is not working with Istanbul version

[vai]

Hi All,

I am trying to validate the attachment type on submit of request, noticed that   gel function is not supported with Istanbul version.

  var cat_id = gel('sysparm_item_guid').value;

    var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_attachment");

    gr.addQuery("table_name", "sc_cart_item");

    gr.addQuery("table_sys_id", cat_id);

    gr.query();

    while (gr.next()) {

      if(gr.getValue("content_type") != 'application/text'){//meaning if you find a file with xls extension

              //do something

              return false;

      }

what is the alternative for gel('sysparm_item_guid').value ?

Hi Ankur,

g_form.getValue('sysparm_item_guid') is giving different values when used in global scope and in my application scope... in global scope it is giving the table_sys_id of the record in sys_attachment table, in my application scope it giving some id not sure what is that id..

Hi Vineeth,

g_form.getValue('sysparm_item_guid') should work correctly in scoped app. But the problem is you cannot use GlideRecord   in client side in scoped app which leads to using GlideAjax in onSubmit client script. It also has one issue that is getXMLWait() doesn't work in scoped app.

So this post gives you workaround on the same.

But you can try one more option

Create Catalog client script in global scope for that catalog item and use following script then it will stop form submission. I have tried the same way and it worked for me for catalog item present in scoped app

Script:

var cat_id = gel('sysparm_item_guid').value;

var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_attachment");

gr.addQuery("table_name", "sc_cart_item");

gr.addQuery("table_sys_id", cat_id);

gr.query();

if (!gr.next()) {

alert("Please add attachment");

return false;

}
