Hi @JayGervais 

I tried the code you suggested but i keep getting this error. I am not sure what i am doing wrong. Please help. Thanks.

var ArticleTemplateUtil = Class.create();
ArticleTemplateUtil2.prototype = Object.extendsObject(ArticleTemplateUtil2SNC,{
	
		// script override to disable Standard KB template
			getArticleTemplatesForKnowledgeBase: function(kbId, addNames) {
				var gr = new GlideRecord('kb_template_m2m_knowledge_base');
				gr.addQuery('kb_knowledge_base',kbId);
				gr.query();

				var templates = {};
				if(!addNames)
					templates['kb_knowledge'] = true;
				
				if(!gr.hasNext()){
					var template = new GlideRecord('kb_article_template');
					template.addActiveQuery();
					template.query();
					while(template.next()){
						if(addNames)
							templates[template.child_table] = template.getDisplayValue('article_template');
						else
							templates[template.child_table] = true;
					}
					return templates;
				}
				else {
					while(gr.next()){
						if(gr.kb_article_template.active){
							if(addNames)
								templates[gr.kb_article_template.child_table] = gr.kb_article_template.getDisplayValue();
							else
								templates[gr.kb_article_template.child_table] = true;
						}
					}
				}
				return templates;
				},
			// --
			
        type: 'ArticleTemplateUtil'
        });
	
// My original code starts here
getFieldsForTemplate: function(){
		var template = this.getParameter("sysparm_template");
		var fields = this.getFieldsDataForTemplate(template);
		var result = {
			fields: fields,
			template: template
		};
		return JSON.stringify(result);
	},

	getFieldsDataForTemplate: function(template){
		var fields = [];

		if(template == 'kb_knowledge'){
			fields.push( {
				field: '',
				type: 'HTML'
			});
			return fields;
		}

		var gr = new GlideRecord('kb_article_template_definition');
		gr.addQuery('article_template.child_table',template);
		gr.addActiveQuery();
		gr.orderBy('order');
		gr.query();

		while(gr.next()){
			var collapsible, collapsed, collapse_type = gr.getValue('collapsible');
			if(collapse_type == 'expanded'){
				collapsible = true;
				collapsed = false;
			} else if(collapse_type == 'collapsed') {
				collapsible = true;
				collapsed = true;
			} else {
				collapsible = false;
				collapsed = false;
			}
			fields.push( {
				field: gr.getDisplayValue('column_label'),
				type: gr.getDisplayValue('column_type'),
				column: gr.getValue('table_column'),
				collapsible: collapsible,
				collapsed: collapsed,
				heading_style: gr.getDisplayValue('heading_style'),
				field_style: gr.getDisplayValue('field_style'),
				preview_text: gr.getValue('u_preview_text'), //Added to see the Preview Text on the kb_knowledge_create_template_preview ui macro
			});
		}

		return fields;
	},
	
	type: 'ArticleTemplateUtil'
});
