How do you link to a record producer and pass some of the parameters in the url?

[mahudg2]

On a front page I want to be able to have several links to one record producer and pass some of the data in the url so some of the fields can be pre-filled. I've done this with incidents before with the sysparm_query by adding sysparm_query=priority=1^incident_state=3 to the url

But I can't seem to get it to work with record producers. Keep in mind that I'm using custom variables.

Is this possible?

You can write onLoad script for each record producer.

Use this syntax to get the previous URL : alert(document.referrer);

Based on this URL, you will understand the variables you need to set.Let me know if you have queries.

I haven't been able to get the alert to trigger. I also attempted putting this in an onLoad event.

never mind I realize now that I need to put this in the catalog script. Thank you!

Use an onLoad Catalog Client Script like the below:

function onLoad() {

   var cmdb_ci = getParmVal('sysparm_cmdb_ci');

   if (cmdb_ci) {

         g_form.setValue('cmdb_ci', cmdb_ci);

   }

}





function getParmVal(name) {

   name = name.replace(/[\[]/,"\\\[").replace(/[\]]/,"\\\]");

   var regexS = "[\\?&]"+name+"=([^&#]*)";

   var regex = new RegExp(regexS);

   var results = regex.exec( window.location.href );

   if(results == null){

         return "";

   }

   else{

         return unescape(results[1]);

   }

}

and you can pass in like:

var params = 'sysparm_cmdb_ci=' + current.sys_id;

var url = 'com.glideapp.servicecatalog_cat_item_view.do?sysparm_id=c60ea0806f159500d9c316ff8d3ee400';

action.setRedirectURL(url + '&' + params);
