How do you read URL from Catalog Client Script

[marclindsay]

I have created a UI Action that runs server side and redirects a user to a Record Producer. The UI Action adds data to the URL (UI Action Redirect : com.glideapp.servicecatalog_cat_item_view.do?sysparm_id=21378b88db9e2300c218d740cf961961&sysparm_comments=testing passing information). Within the Catalog Client Script I am trying to read the URL to get the parameter needed for defaulting some of the fields on the Record Producer screen.

Everything I have read looks like I should be able to do the following to get my data out of the URL. document.URL.parseQuery();  This command is not working. I keep getting the error 'Cannot read property 'URL' of null'.

Stuck as to how I get my information out of the URL

Hello,

I think you are in London. Please set the following flag on your client script from a list view and it will work.

Set Isolate Script to true for your client script, This will allow DOM manipulations.

Don't see that flag

Ok, Can you try this once.

var gUrl = new GlideURL();
gUrl.setFromCurrent();
var comments = gUrl.getParam("sysparm_comments");
g_form.setValue('description', comments);

That worked but it is showing %20 for spaces. 

"testing%20passing%20information"

Had to add decodeURI to the final code.

g_form.setValue('description', decodeURI(comments));

Thanks
