How to set a value to a document ID field using script

[pdv]

Hi all,

I am trying to set the value of document ID type field using script.

I tried to assign the sys id directly but its not working.

can someone throw some light?

A sys_id is useless without a knowing what table the record resides on.

Alas, a Document ID field needs to be coupled with a Table Name field.

First you will need to create a 'Table Name' field (let's say 'u_table').

Once you have done that,open the Dictionary entry of your Document ID field and set the dependent field to 'u_table'.

Then you can write the following code

current.u_table = 'incident';
current.u_doc_id = SYS_ID;
current.update();

Or set in via the UI, setting the u_table field first.

I hope this helps

It needs a source table.   I did it in approval like this:

var appr = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');

appr.initialize();

appr.source_table = 'change_request';

appr.sysapproval = 'a9e9c33dc61122760072455df62663d2';

appr.document_id = 'a9e9c33dc61122760072455df62663d2';

appr.insert();
