How to Create Standard Change from SCTASK and that SCTASK number should be link to change Reuqest

[suvarna sonar2]

I have created a UI Action on the sc_task table and added the below code for Creating a Standard Change:

var url = new StdChangeUtils().getURLForTask(current, 'rfc');
url += '&sc_task_sys_id=' + current.sys_id;
action.setRedirectURL(url);

It is redirecting to standard change template for creating new change request but linkage of sctask is not happening on that change request parent field.

Question:
Is there a way to implement this functionality so that the originating SCTASK is linked to the Change Request created via the Standard Change template?

it worked for me now

Update your UI action as this -> don't send task sysId, no need of this

var url = new StdChangeUtils().getURLForTask(current, 'rfc');
action.setRedirectURL(url);

client Script as this -> the task sysId is already present in URL, use regex and grab that and set

function onLoad() {
    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
    var url = top.location.href;
    var regex = /sysparm_processing_hint=table:sc_task;sysid:([a-f0-9]{32})/;
    var match = url.match(regex);
    if (match && match[1]) {
        var taskSysId = match[1];
		alert(taskSysId);
        // Use sysId as needed
    }

}

How to get URL parameter in client script

create this onLoad client script and grab the sysId and set in parent field

Note: ensure parent field is present on the form view

function onLoad() {
    var gUrl = new GlideURL();
    gUrl.setFromCurrent();
    var taskSysId = gUrl.getParam("sc_task_sys_id");
    g_form.setValue('parent', taskSysId);

}

This parameter giving undefined value

var url = new StdChangeUtils().getURLForTask(current, 'rfc');
url += '&sc_task_sys_id=' + current.sys_id;
action.setRedirectURL(url);
