GlideModalForm adding value to field

[S M]

Hello Guys,

I have a UI Action on the change form and I need to display a dialog window with a specific View from a custom table called timeline. I am using GlideModalForm in order to achieve that but the problem is that I need to set the Parent field from timeline to the number from the parent change form. I tried to use the gModalForm.addParm('parent', sysId); but this is not working and the parent stay empty.

Here is the code:

function timelineDialog(){
      var sysId;
      if (typeof rowSysId == 'undefined')
             sysId = gel('sys_uniqueValue').value;
      else
          sysId = rowSysId;

      var gModalForm = new GlideModalForm('Timelines record', 'table_name);
       gModalForm.setPreference('sysparm_view', 'view_name');
       gModalForm.addParm('parent', sysId);
       gModalForm.setCompletionCallback(function(action_verb, sys_id, table, displayValue){
             if (action_verb == 'sysverb_update'){
                reloadWindow(window);
             }
       });
      gModalForm.render();
}

Any help will be appropriated, thank you in advance

Hi,

your table name is "u_timeline" but you are sending name as "u_moj_timeline"

can you tell your requirement?

on click of button you want to open dialog window with some table and specific view. what next?

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also mark Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks
Ankur

Thank you very much for your answer, but the table name was correct the problem was with the code 🙂

Hello,

I ran into this as well and I believe all you need to do is, wherever you are setting the Parent field in your script, use "parent.value" rather than just "parent". See below where I am setting the short description to my 'testVal' variable added as a parameter when instantiating the modal form:

function cancelTicket() {
    var d = new GlideModalForm('Create New incident', 'incident');
    d.setOnloadCallback(populateModal);
    d.addParm('testVal', 'test');
    d.render();

    function populateModal() {
        //Access GlideModal g_form
        var d_form = window.frames["dialog_frame"].g_form;
        d_form.setValue('short_description', testVal.value);
    }
}

I hope this helps!

Guys, this is the solution for that issue:

function timelineDialog() {

    ScriptLoader.getScripts('/scripts/classes/GlideModalFormSetWidth.js', function() {
          var sysID = g_form.getUniqueValue(); // get the sys_id value from the change request
         //Create and open the dialog form
         var dialog = new GlideModalForm(new GwtMessage().getMessage("Title to be displayed on the popup message"),'table_name');
         dialog.setSize("modal-lg",300);
         dialog.setPreference('sys_id','-1'); //-1 to get create new record
         dialog.setPreference('sysparm_view', 'name_of_the_view'); //Load 'create' view
         dialog.setPreference('sysparm_query','parent='+sysID); //copy the change sys_id to the parent field
         dialog.setPreference("sysparm_link_less", "true");
         dialog.setPreference('sysparm_view_forced', 'true');
         dialog.setPreference('sysparm_clear_stack', 'true');

        //Fuction called on feedback submit, to add success message and refresh Knowledge Feedback Task related list
        dialog.setCompletionCallback(function(action_verb, sys_id, table, displayValue){
                  location.reload();
                  var feedTaskNum = '<a href="/u_moj_timeline.do?sys_id='+sys_id+'&sysparm_view=">' + displayValue +'</a>';
                  g_form.addInfoMessage( new GwtMessage().getMessage("Successfully created Table Record [name of the table]: {0}",feedTaskNum));
        });

       //Open the dialog
       dialog.render();

      });
}
