Hello Everyone,

How can i achieve this ?

Hi Abdul,

The Inherited functionality, alone, on a client script would be useful only if you would want that script to run all the extended tables of a base table.

However, since in your case, you want the script to run only on Incident and Catalog Task table, you can do the following:

1) Create the client script on the base table, i.e. TASK

2) Check the Inherited checkbox on the script

3) In the starting of the script, use the following condition to ensure that the script is running only on Incident and Catalog Task table and not on other inherited tables from the TASK table:

function onLoad() {

var table = g_form.getTableName();

if (table == 'incident' || table == 'sc_task')

{

//alert('Run my script');

//place your code here

}

This should work and will make this script run on only the Incident and the Catalog Task tables extended from Task. Let me know if it doesn't.

PS: Mark this answer as Correct if it solved your query or hit Like/Helpful depending upon the usefulness of the response.

Thanks Surpiya,

Its working as required

Just wanted to make sure is that a best practice to write a client script on Task table and make it inherited ? Just for my understanding ?

Hi Abdul,

It should be fine to write the script on a base table if you want it to work on its extended tables as well, instead of writing the scripts separately on different tables.

If I have answered your question, could you please mark the answer as Correct so that it gets removed from the Unanswered list of questions.

Alternatively, if you have any further queries, please let me know.
