Getting UI Page List Collector value

[Ethan Davies]

Hi there, 

I am trying to get the values from a List Collector that I have coded on a UI Page so that I can set these values into a List Collector variable that I have created on the Change Request form. However, whenever I try to get the value of the documentElement of the List Collector from the UI Page, then the value returned is a value of 'null'. The code snippets are below. Wondering if anyone can help me with this, or give me any pointers.

Thanks in advance!

UI Page

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
<g:ui_form>
  <!-- Get values from dialog preferences passed in -->
  <g:evaluate var="jvar_short_text"
    expression="RP.getWindowProperties().get('short_text')" />
  <g:evaluate var="jvar_comments_text"
    expression="RP.getWindowProperties().get('comments_text')" />
   <!-- Set up form fields and labels -->
   <table width="100%">
     <tr id="description_row" valign="top">
        <td colspan="1">
           <!-- Short description value used as a label -->
           ${jvar_short_text}
        </td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
       <td>
         <!-- Comments text field (Contains comments from originating record as a default) -->
		  <g:macro_invoke macro= "lightweight_glide_list" id="userList" name="userList" control_name="listCollector" reference="sys_user" can_write="true" />
       </td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
       <td colspan="2">
       </td>
     </tr>
     <tr id="dialog_buttons">
        <td colspan="2" align="right">
           <!-- Pull in 'dialog_buttons_ok_cancel' UI Macro for submit/cancel buttons.'ok' option will call the 'validateComments' Client script function from the UI Page-->
           <g:dialog_buttons_ok_cancel ok="return validateSelection()" ok_type="button" cancel_type="button" />
        </td>
     </tr>
  </table>
</g:ui_form>
</j:jelly>

Client Script

function validateSelection() {
	try {
		//Gets called if the 'OK' dialog button is clicked
		//Make sure dialog comments are not empty
		
		var users = gel("userList").value;
		//If comments are not empty do this...
		GlideDialogWindow.get().destroy(); //Close the dialog window
		g_form.setValue('u_additional_approvers_defined', true); // Set the 'Additional Approvers Defined' boolean flag to true
		g_form.setValue("u_additional_approvers", users); //Set the users selected in the list collector to the list on the Change Request.
	} catch (err) {
		g_form.addErrorMessage(err);
	}
	
	
}

Hi Ethan,

for slushbuckets, you'll need to take values as left/right. So if selected something from slush from left to right to get it you need to use similar approach :

var my slushRightValue = slush.getValues(slush.getRightSelect());

Cheers,
