Help on UI Page

[Tanya10]

Hi 
I have added one if condition on UI page which is failing. Pasting the code below and have highlighted in red , any help would be appreciated

 <g:evaluate var="jvar_attachment_extensions" jelly="true">

        var scope = new GlideRecord(jelly.jvar_target_table).getTableScope();

        var p = gs.getProperty(scope + '.attachment.extensions', null);

        p;

        var extendedTableFlag;

        var tableUtils = new TableUtils(jelly.jvar_target_table);

        var baseTable = tableUtils.getAbsoluteBase();

    </g:evaluate>

    <g:evaluate var="jvar_attachrole" jelly="true">

        gs.hasRole('sn_hr_core.kb_writer');

    </g:evaluate>

    <!--Scenario 1: Task or CMDB-based table, and not in HR scope -->

    <j2:if test="$[((baseTable.contains('task') || baseTable.contains('cmdb')) &amp;&amp; !scope.contains('sn_hr'))]">

        <h3 style="text-align: center; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;">

            Restrict the file upload of size more than 10 MB.

        </h3>

    </j2:if>

    <!--  Scenario 2: On kb_knowledge table, user does NOT have writer role -->

    <j2:if test="$[(baseTable == 'kb_knowledge' &amp;&amp; !jvar_attachrole)]">

        <h3 style="text-align: center; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;">

            Restrict the file upload of size more than 10 MB.

Hi there @Tanya10 , Here try this jelly script and let me know how it goes.

<g:evaluate var="scope" jelly="true">
var gr = new GlideRecord(jelly.jvar_target_table);
gr.getTableScope();
</g:evaluate>

<g:evaluate var="baseTable" jelly="true">
var tableUtils = new TableUtils(jelly.jvar_target_table);
tableUtils.getAbsoluteBase();
</g:evaluate>

<g:evaluate var="jvar_attachrole" jelly="true">
gs.hasRole('sn_hr_core.kb_writer');
</g:evaluate>

Scenario 1: Task or CMDB-based table, and not in HR scope
<j2:if test="$[((baseTable.indexOf('task') != -1 || baseTable.indexOf('cmdb') != -1) && scope.indexOf('sn_hr') == -1)]">
<h3 style="text-align: center; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;">
Restrict the file upload of size more than 10 MB.
</h3>
</j2:if>

Scenario 2: On kb_knowledge table, user does NOT have writer role
<j2:if test="$[(baseTable == 'kb_knowledge' && jvar_attachrole == false)]">
<h3 style="text-align: center; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;">
Restrict the file upload of size more than 10 MB.
</h3>
</j2:if>

If this answer helps you in any way make sure to Mark this as accepted solution and give a thumbs up this will also benefit others as well.

The issue seems to be how those server-side values are exposed to Jelly. In your first <g:evaluate> you compute baseTable, scope, etc., but you never assign any of them to a Jelly variable. In Jelly, <g:evaluate var="X">...</g:evaluate> only publishes the return value of that block (the last expression) into the single variable X. Local variables like baseTable created inside that block aren’t visible to your later <j2:if> tests, so an expression like baseTable == 'kb_knowledge' evaluates against an undefined symbol and the condition fails.

<!-- Make scope available to Jelly -->
<g:evaluate var="jvar_scope" jelly="true">
  new GlideRecord(jelly.jvar_target_table).getTableScope();
</g:evaluate>

<!-- Make base table available to Jelly -->
<g:evaluate var="jvar_base_table" jelly="true">
  new TableUtils(jelly.jvar_target_table).getAbsoluteBase();
</g:evaluate>

<!-- Role check as a boolean Jelly var -->
<g:evaluate var="jvar_has_kb_writer" jelly="true">
  gs.hasRole('sn_hr_core.kb_writer');
</g:evaluate>

<!-- Scenario 1: task or cmdb-derived base table, and not HR scope -->
<j2:if test="$[((jvar_base_table == 'task' || jvar_base_table.contains('cmdb')) && !jvar_scope.contains('sn_hr'))]">
  <h3 style="text-align:center;font-size:15px;font-weight:bold;">
    Restrict the file upload of size more than 10 MB.
  </h3>
</j2:if>

<!-- Scenario 2: kb_knowledge base table and user is NOT a KB writer -->
<j2:if test="$[(jvar_base_table == 'kb_knowledge' && !jvar_has_kb_writer)]">
  <h3 style="text-align:center;font-size:15px;font-weight:bold;">
    Restrict the file upload of size more than 10 MB.
  </h3>
</j2:if>
