Below is the code written on UI Page for glide list type field.
We are trying to select the value on glide list and access it in client script.
In client script while trying to access through "$j("#changeSubsystem").val()" its returning undefined.
HTML
<g:ui_form>
<g:macro_invoke macro= "lightweight_glide_list" id="changeSubsystem" name="change_subsystem" reference="sys_user" can_write="true" control_name="QUERY:user_name=abel.tuter" />
<div style="padding:5px;float:right">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td align="left" nowrap="true"><br /><g:dialog_buttons_ok_cancel ok="return validateForm();" cancel="return onCancel();"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</g:ui_form>
Client Script
function validateForm() {
var grList = $j("#changeSubsystem").val();
alert(grList);
}We even tried "document.getElementById('changeSubsystem').value;" but didnt workout
Screenshot of Output
Could someone please help me with the above issue on how to fetch the value in client script.

IN UI page , how to get the glide_list type records value in UI page client script
Hi @Haridevan Vamad ,
It doesn't work because the UI Macro "lightweight_glide_list" doesn't have any code to take the outer id attribute of the "g:macro_invoke" element and pass it to the select element once rendered. However, it does take the "control_name" attribute and concatenates it to the select "id" attribute making the id, in your example, this:
select_0QUERY:user_name=abel.tuter
Also since you're in a Jelly page you can use gel() method instead of $j() to get the value:
var selectValueElement = gel('select_0QUERY:user_name=abel.tuter');
So if you keep the same html markup but changed the validateForm function to this:
function validateForm(){
var grList = gel('select_0QUERY:user_name=abel.tuter');
var grListOptions = Array.from(grList);
if(grListOptions.length){
alert(grListOptions[0].value)
}
}
If you select Abel Tuter (since the query is filtering to only Abel Tuter) and you click the Ok button you should see Abel Tuter's sys_id.
Hi @M_48 ,
"select_0" is in the lightweight_glide_list UI Macro that is being invoked by the script posted.
"Query" is part of the parameter the poster ( @Haridevan Vamad ) is passing to the attribute "control_name" on the jelly tag "g:macro_invoke" in the script.
The lightweight_glide_list code replaces the "g:macro_invoke" tag when the page renders and uses some of the parameters supplied to its attributes like the "Query:user_name=abel.tuter" passed to the "control_name" attribute.
