Hello All,

 

I have client side and server side scripting and I am trying to pass the input from client to server (script attached below).

I do get the first info message however not the second one. Need help on the same to pass the sysid of firstname from client to Server

Client:

 

	c.openexistingUserform=function(){  

		c.n={
			"firstname" :'',
			"busiphone" : '',
			"email1": '',
			"city1": ''		
		}			
		console.log("openexistingUserform" ,c.n);	
		c.data.action = 'addphUser';	
		c.server.update();
			
		document.getElementById("addexUserForm").style.display = "block";

	}

 

I get the following output from the console

 

  1. busiphone: "(555) 555-0004"
  2. city1: ""
  3. email1: "abraham.lincoln@example.com"
  4. firstname: {value: 'a8f98bb0eb32010045e1a5115206fe3a', displayValue: 'Abraham Lincoln'}
  5. [[Prototype]]: Object

Server

 

 

if(input&&input.action=='addphUser')
	{
		gs.addInfoMessage("addphUser");
		var graddexuser2 = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
		graddexuser2.addQuery('sys_id',input.firstname);
		graddexuser2.query();
		if(graddexuser2.next())
		{
			gs.addInfoMessage("User " +graddexuser2.user_name);
			//data.existingUser.push({email:graddexuser2.email.toString(),busphone:graddexuser2.phone.toString()});
		}
	}

Try the below change:

 

Client Script

 

	c.openexistingUserform=function(){  
		c.data.n={
			"firstname" :'',
			"busiphone" : '',
			"email1": '',
			"city1": ''		
		};		
		console.log("openexistingUserform" ,c.n);	
		c.data.action = 'addphUser';	
		c.server.update();	
		document.getElementById("addexUserForm").style.display = "block";
	}

 

Server Script:

if(input&&input.action=='addphUser')
	{
		gs.addInfoMessage("addphUser");
		var graddexuser2 = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
		graddexuser2.addQuery('first_name',input.n.firstname);
		graddexuser2.query();
		if(graddexuser2.next())
		{
			gs.addInfoMessage("User " +graddexuser2.user_name);
			//data.existingUser.push({email:graddexuser2.email.toString(),busphone:graddexuser2.phone.toString()});
		}
	}
Thank you,
Palani

Thanks @Ankur9 , @Mohith Devatte   and @palanikumar Actually the above solution did not work for some reason. I also have an Onload script to populate the data everytime the name is selected from the form as below

var c = this;
$scope.$on("field.change", function(evt, parms) {
//console.log(parms.newValue);
c.data.usersysid = parms.newValue;
if(parms.newValue =='')
{
c.n.email1 = '';
c.n.busiphone = '';
c.n.city1 = '';
c.n.firstname = '';
}
else{
c.data.action = 'fetchexistingUser';
c.server.update().then(function(){
c.n.email1 = c.data.existingUser[0].email;
c.n.busiphone = c.data.existingUser[0].busphone;
});
}
});

 

And then I have the script to hold the values of the data

 

c.openexistingUserform=function(){
c.data.n={
"firstname" :'',
"busiphone" : '',
"email1": '',
"city1": ''
};
console.log("openexistingUserform" ,c.n);
c.data.action = 'addphUser';
c.server.update();
document.getElementById("addexUserForm").style.display = "block";
}
