How to get sys_id for record after g_form.submit()?

[hamzaathar]

The sc_cat_item page on service portals allow users to submit a catalog item.

I am going through the code on the widget and it seems like the submit button calls g_form.submit() to produce the record.

How can I get the sys_id of the record if g_form.submit() is successful? I need to retrieve it in the same widget, preferably in the same function that calls g_form.submit().

the RITM sysId is not available until the catalog item is submitted.

what's your business requirement?

Business requirement is to know the sys_id of the record generated by pressing the submit button on the sc_cat_item page.
