How to access the catalog item fields in client scripts.

[sanrg]

Hi Team,

I am just trying to access the catalog item field in the On submit catalog client script. Is that   feasible? Please find the below screenshot :

Here I am trying to Change the workflow, based on some selection in the catalog form, I wrote an On submit catalog client script.

My logic is actually not working here.

I wanted to know is my approach to achieve this is correct.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Sangeetha,

To access these fields from a client script, you need to do a GlideAjax call. Because you mentioned an onSubmit client script, this is one of the few cases where you need to do a Sychronous Ajax call. The server can provide you information to those fields either by dot-walking or a GlideRecord lookup based on the cat_item field.

Hi Tomasi,

Thanks for the reply.

Instead of writing GlideAjax, can't we just use g_form.getValue () to access the catalog item variables?

[Chuck Tomasi]

Yes, you can access the variables. I thought you said you wanted to access the fields on the catalog item (like the workflow field for example.) Sorry if I misunderstood.

Hi Sangeetha,

Any variables you create under the catalog item you can access it in onLoad, onChange and onSubmit catalog client script using g_form.getValue("variableName");

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
