How to edit 'Copy Change' UI Action

[bhoomikabisht]

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;

  }

};

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.
