Hi,

Please use this line of code in your UI Action on approval table

If title is a field on requested item table then use  

current.sysapproval.title;   //Title is the field name on your RITM

If title is a variable on requested item table then use  

current.sysapproval.variables.title;   //Title is the variable name on your RITM

Thanks

Hi

As i have mentioned this UI action is on approval table.

we are taking ritm number and approver using g_form.

if i am using "current.sysapproval.title;" , i am not able to click button.

Kindly suggest

The code will work if you are changing the script fully to server side using current object. Is it possible?

You can also mix client and server code in a UI Action: http://www.servicenowguru.com/system-ui/ui-actions-system-ui/client-server-code-ui-action/

Or else you can try this but it is always better to use Glide Ajax for such cases.

var ritm = g_form.getReference('sysapproval');

var title = ritm.u_title;     //ritm.variables.title whichever matches your variable name

Thanks

Hi Pratik,

I believe the 'Title' is a field in your RITM form and the UI action is in the Approval table (sysapproval_approver). If this is correct, then you can do dot walking via the OOB field 'Approving for' (sysapproval). In your scenario, it will be like current.sysapproval.u_title (considering the name of the 'Title' field is 'u_title').

If the UI action in the Group Approval table (sysapproval_group), you need to do dot walking via 'Parent' (parent) field. this time you need to do as current.parent.u_title.

I hope this helps.Please mark correct/helpful based on impact
