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
    }

}

Hi @suvarna sonar2 

There is no need to create a UI action. You can add the related list of changes, click New, and it will take you to the change description. There, you can select the same change as you want to standardize.

i want to create from standard change template and that templated value should get append to sctask field

So, you want to use the SC change template to populate an SC task—that’s not possible. You can create it as mentioned. SC Task and SC Change are two different records.
