How do I get the sys_id of the excel file attached to a catalog item?

[gunishi]

Hi all, 

I have a catalog item where I have allowed the user to be able to attach an excel doc. The excel doc should be of a certain format so I have scripted to be able to check it. 

However, I have a blocker at the beginning as in my OnSubmit Client Script 'gel' is not being recognised in the following line:

var sys_id = gel('sysparm_item_guid').value

Is there a replacement for gel? Alternatively, how can I find the sys_id of the attached excel document?

Thank you, 

G

Hi @gunishi,

You could use  g_form.getValue ('sysparm_item_guid');
