how to do variable editor read only

[keerthilatha]

I have a requirement to make the variables under Variable Editor Read-Only once an INTAKE is generated (from a submission of a Service Catalog).

function onLoad() {

var template = g_form.getValue('u_template');

if (template != "28c64a0837f1cf00548b53b543990efd"){

var sections = g_form.getSections();

sections[2].style.display = 'none';

sections[2].style.display = 'none';

//To do variable editor read only

$(variable_map).select("item").each(function (elmt){

alert('hi');

try {

alert('qname453467568');

g_form.setDisabled('variables.' + elmt.getAttribute('qname'),true);

alert('qname');

} catch (err) {

}

});

//

}

}

Hi,

First of all, you will have to apply the client script on the table as I mentioned.

In service Portal, the way to associate a variable editor is as per below article, I think you must have done this:

https://hi.service-now.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0621064

So it asks us to create a new widget by cloning the sp-variable-editor widget. So in the cloned widget you should add

Below line:

// Added to make variables read only

data.sc_cat_item._fields[f].readonly = true;

after the line

if (typeof values[f] != "undefined" && typeof values[f].value != "undefined") {

in the server side code.

Hi,

Did you go through the link. OOTB in SP you don't have variable editor. It is not possible to use a UI formatter in the SP, not supported as of now.

So, what we need to do is to check the widget which is being used for variable editor in your instance. All this is written in the KB article I have shared. In the widget, you need to make the change in the server code.   below the line

if (typeof values[f] != "undefined" && typeof values[f].value != "undefined") {

you need

Just use the onLoad client script with below code:

g_form.setVariablesReadOnly(true);
