How to edit 'Copy Change' UI Action

bhoomikabisht · ‎09-16-2016

Hi Experts,

I am working on Change management and want to modify 'Copy Change' UI Action

As per the requirement I want to copy two custom fields which i added added in the form. But I am not getting where to add the code in the UI Action. I checked the script include ChangeUtils. But not getting it.

Please help where i can modify.

Below is the UI Action:

function OnCopyChangeClick() {

function addParam(form, name, val) {

var inp = cel('textarea', form);

inp.name = name;

inp.value = val;

}

var srcSysId = g_form.getUniqueValue();

var ga = new GlideAjax('ChangeUtils');

ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getChangeQueryParams');

ga.addParam('sysparm_src_sysid', srcSysId);

ga.setWantSessionMessages(true);

ga.getXMLAnswer(function (queryParam) {

if (queryParam) {

var gotoUrl = [];

gotoUrl.push('srcSysID=' + srcSysId);

gotoUrl.push('newSysID=$sys_id');

gotoUrl.push('sysparm_returned_action=$action');

gotoUrl = 'CopyChangeRelatedLists.do?' + gotoUrl.join('&');

var form = cel('form', document.body);

hide(form);

form.method = "POST";

form.action = g_form.getTableName() + ".do";

if (typeof g_ck != 'undefined' && g_ck != "")

addParam(form, 'sysparm_ck', g_ck);

addParam(form, 'sys_id', '-1');

addParam(form, 'sysparm_query', queryParam);

addParam(form, 'sysparm_goto_url', gotoUrl);

form.submit();

}

});

}

Below is the Script Includes:

var ChangeUtils = Class.create();

ChangeUtils.prototype = Object.extendsObject(ChangeUtilsSNC, {

initialize: function(request, responseXML, gc) {

ChangeUtilsSNC.prototype.initialize.call(this, request, responseXML, gc);

},

/***************************

*

*Add customer changes below

*

****************************/

type: 'ChangeUtils'

});

/********************************************************************

*The function below is written in this way to provide access via the

*signature ChangeUtils.isCopyChangeEnabled() from UI Action -

*'Copy Change' > Condition.

*

*Customers are suggested to override methods inside the body of

*ChangeUtils' object definition.

********************************************************************/

ChangeUtils.isCopyChangeEnabled = function(current) {

var changeUtils = new ChangeUtils();

if (changeUtils.isCopyFlagValid() && changeUtils.isCopyRulesValid(current)) {

return true;

} else {

return false;

}

};

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Bhoomika,

In Client script side :

var ga = new GlideAjax('ChangeUtils'); // ChangeUtils is your script include name

ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getChangeQueryParams'); // getChangeQueryParams is function name

ga.addParam('sysparm_src_sysid', srcSysId);

---you can add your code here like this ---

ga.addParam('sysparm_newvalue', your field name);

ga.addParam(sysparm_newvalue1', your field name 1);

ga.setWantSessionMessages(true);

ga.getXMLAnswer(function (queryParam) {

if (queryParam) {

var gotoUrl = [];

gotoUrl.push('srcSysID=' + srcSysId);

gotoUrl.push('your field name=' + serversidevalue);

gotoUrl.push('your field name=' + serversidevalue 1);

gotoUrl.push('newSysID=$sys_id');

gotoUrl.push('sysparm_returned_action=$action');

gotoUrl = 'CopyChangeRelatedLists.do?' + gotoUrl.join('&');

var form = cel('form', document.body);

hide(form);

form.method = "POST";

form.action = g_form.getTableName() + ".do";

if (typeof g_ck != 'undefined' && g_ck != "")

addParam(form, 'sysparm_ck', g_ck);

addParam(form, 'sys_id', '-1');

addParam(form, 'sysparm_query', queryParam);

addParam(form, 'sysparm_goto_url', gotoUrl);

form.submit();

}

});

}

Thanks.

Hope this might be helpfull. Please correct me if I am wrong

Already checked that and have given the code above.

Hi Bhoomika,

I needed to add a comment in 'work notes' to say where the copied change is originating from and setting a custom field to a specific value.

Below coding in bold did do it for me 🙂

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function OnCopyChangeClick() {

var changeID = g_form.getValue('number');

var param1 = '^u_retrospective_change=no';

var param2 = '^work_notes=This Change duplicated from: '+ changeID;

function addParam(form, name, val) {

var inp = cel('textarea', form);

inp.name = name;

inp.value = val;

}

var srcSysId = g_form.getUniqueValue();

var ga = new GlideAjax('ChangeUtils');

ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getChangeQueryParams');

ga.addParam('sysparm_src_sysid', srcSysId);

ga.setWantSessionMessages(true);

ga.getXMLAnswer(function (queryParam) {

if (queryParam) {

var gotoUrl = [];

gotoUrl.push('srcSysID=' + srcSysId);

gotoUrl.push('newSysID=$sys_id');

gotoUrl.push('sysparm_returned_action=$action');

gotoUrl = 'CopyChangeRelatedLists.do?' + gotoUrl.join('&');

var form = cel('form', document.body);

hide(form);

form.method = "POST";

form.action = g_form.getTableName() + ".do";

if (typeof g_ck != 'undefined' && g_ck != "")

addParam(form, 'sysparm_ck', g_ck);

addParam(form, 'sys_id', '-1');

addParam(form, 'sysparm_query', queryParam + param1 + param2);

addParam(form, 'sysparm_goto_url', gotoUrl);

form.submit();

}

});

}

Absolutely brilliant. My brain was bleeding after spending hours on this. I was in the right area and had the right idea but could not implement it. Thank you so much for this.
