How to populate catalog item fields in UI builder?

[Dotychczas]

Hello Experts,

In UI builder I've added one of existing catalog items. I would like "release" field to update with provided sys_id. How can I populate CI field in UI builder?

To populate the "Release" field in the ServiceNow UI Builder with a provided sys_id, you can use a combination of UI Actions and Script Actions.

Here are the steps to achieve this:

1. Create a UI Action: Go to "System Definition" -> "UI Actions" -> "New". Give it a name, choose the table you want to modify, and set the action type to "Script". In the script field, add the following code:

var ciSysId = "insert_sys_id_here"; // replace insert_sys_id_here with the actual sys_id you want to use
var gr = new GlideRecord('table_name'); // replace table_name with the name of the table you want to modify
if (gr.get(ciSysId)) {
g_form.setValue('release', gr.getValue('release'));
}

1. Create a Script Action: Go to "System Definition" -> "Script Actions" -> "New". Give it a name, set the table to the same table you used in the UI Action, and set the "Order" to "1". In the script field, add the following code:

return {
type: 'UI_ACTION',
options: {
action_name: 'name_of_ui_action', // replace name_of_ui_action with the name you used for the UI Action
table: 'table_name', // replace table_name with the name of the table you want to modify
condition: 'sys_id=' + current.sys_id // this ensures the UI Action is only executed when the current record is saved
}
};

1. Add the Script Action to the form: Go to the form where you want to add the "Release" field and click on the gear icon in the top right corner. Choose "Configure Form Layout". In the "Header" section, add a new row and drag the "Script" widget into it. In the widget's properties, set the "Action" field to the name of the Script Action you just created.

2. Save the form: Click "Save" to save the changes you made to the form. Now when you create or edit a record in this table, the "Release" field will be automatically populated with the value from the record with the provided sys_id.
