How set default value of a variable using javascript

[Alon Grod]

Hi,

I have the variable 'computer name' of type string in my 'create incident' record producer. I have the field 'u_computer_name' of type string on sys_user table. How can I set the default value of this variable inside the record producer to be like computer_name of the current login user when loading the record producer?

Hi @Alon Grod ,

You need to write an Client Script + Script Include to achieve this

Do as something like this onLoad

Client Script

function onLoad() {
    var ga = new GlideAjax('loggedUserData');
      ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'name');
      ga.getXML(callback);
}
function callback(response) {
      var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
//put this answer in your variable  
}

In Script Include

var loggedUserData= Class.create();
loggedUserData.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
name: function () {
return gs.getUser().u_computer_name;             
      }
});

Set the default value of your variable to:

javascript: gs.getUser().getRecord().getValue('u_computer_name')

@Alon Grod

javascript: gs.getUser().getRecord().getValue('u_computer_name');
