How to call a script include in a UI action

[Mi1]

Hi,

I want to set the value I get in the script include in the UI action.

A target_group is a type that refers to a cmn_department.

I just want to return the value I got in the script include here.

How can I write?

Following code doesn’t work : UI Actions 

current.target_user = gs.getUserID();

function confirmCreate() {
var ga = new GlideAjax('scriptincludename');
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getUserDepartmentList');
ga.addParam('sysparm_id', g_form.getValue('target_user'));
ga.getXML(updateCampus);
}

function updateCampus(response) {
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
// alert(answer);
gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getForElement(), 'copy_release');
}
if (typeof window == 'undefined')
current.target_group = doCreate();

function doCreate() {
new scriptincludename().getUserDepartmentList();
}
current.update();

You do not need to include client side code in UI action, only server side code is enough. Please use similar code in the UI action.

current.target_group = new scriptincludename().getUserDepartmentList(gs.getUserID());

current.update();

In the script include function, use the user id to perform appropriate search and return value which you want to set in target_group

Hi @Mi1 - as Arpit mentioned, only the server side code is needed in the UI Action script.

You can pass in the User ID (using gs.getUserID) to the script include as a parameter, perform the logic in the script include, and then return it back to the UI Action and set the target_group.
