How to pass data from client script to workspace Ui Action

[ManikandanP7586]

I'm facing an issue where I need to pass data from a UI Page Client Script to a Workspace Client Script callback function, i referred community articles but this wasn't helpful.

Workspace UI Action can open a UI Page as a modal using g_modal.showFrame(). Within that iframe, your UI Page uses iframeMsgHelper (or window.postMessage) to send data back to the parent workspace modal. Use a Workspace UI Action with a Client Script (client-side, enabled) to call your UI Page. The callback function defined in the Workspace client script receives that data and processes.

Try this once and let me know. If you find this helpful, please accept this as a solution and hit the helpful button..

@ManikandanP7586 

did you explore few of the OOTB UI actions?

somewhere the logic must be present.

you can use callback method, I believe ServiceNow uses iframeMsgHelper for this

Search with UI page client script contains -> iframeMsgHelper

UI page client script using that and including the data to be passed

Then in workspace client script, it's accessed like this

OOTB UI page: time_sheet_recall_dialogue

OOTB UI action: Recall (time_card) table

In my case, the functionality works correctly in Native UI, but in Workspace, I'm unable to retrieve the values as expected.

My requirement is: when a modal opens, it displays some fields. Based on the data entered in those fields, a GlideAjax call is triggered to create a record and return the sys_id and i set it to one field using g_form.setValue().

While the sys_id is successfully returned in Workspace, I'm unable to retrieve or use it properly within the Workspace client script. I’ve tried using iFrameHelper and postMessage, but those approaches didn’t work.
