Get variable from ui action in client script

[Snow Tomcal]

Hi, i'm trying to run a UI action that takes the variables from a requested item and opens a new request.

In the catalog item there is a variable set with a client script where I want to set the variables. I can't seem to get the variables from the UI action to the client script

my UI action (action name: rerun_request):

function onClick() {

var item = g_form.getParameter("sysparm_id");

g_navigation.open("URL/sp?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id="+item+"&sysparm_clone=true', "_blank");

gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), rerun_request);

}

if (typeof window == "undefined")

get_variables();

function get_variables(){

var variables = new GlideRecord('sc_item_option_mtom');

variables.addQuery('request_item', current.sys_id);

variables.query();

var variable_list = [];

while (variables.next()){

var dict = variables.sc_item_option.item_option_new;

var v = variables.request_item.variables[dict.name];

var o = {

'name' = dict.name;

'question' = dict.question_text;

'value' = v;}

if (o.value != ""){

variables_list.push(o);

}

}

gs.getSession.putClientData('variable_values', variable_list);

}

My client script

function onLoad(){

var strVariables = g_user.getClientData('variable_values') // RETURNS "UNDEFINED"

var arrVariables =JSON.parse(strVariables);

for (var i=0; i<arrVariables.length; i++)

{

var name = arrVariables[i].name;

var question= arrVariables[i].question;

var value= arrVariables[i].value;

g_form.setValue(name,question,value);

}

}

can anyone can help me get the variable "variable_list" from the UI action to the client script?

Thanks 🙂
