How to set multiple field values using a script include / client script

[Edwin Fuller]

Hello Developers, within my client script below I need to set two values for two fields. The "u_owner" field and the "u_planned_hours". Currently I'm only setting one field, the "u_owner" field. Can someone show me how to set both the "u_owner" field and the "u_planned_hours" field from the same script?

Client Script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;

}

var parentRec = g_form.getValue('parent');

var ga = new GlideAjax('TestingUtil');
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getParentValues');
ga.addParam('sysparm_recparent', parentRec);
ga.getXML(myCallBack);

function myCallBack(response) {
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
g_form.setValue('u_owner', answer);
//g_form.setValue('u_planned_hours', answer);
}

}

Script Include:

var TestingUtil = Class.create();
TestingUtil.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

getParentValues: function(){

var uid = this.getParameter('sysparm_recparent');
var prj = new GlideRecord('pm_project');
prj.addQuery('sys_id',uid);
prj.query();
if (prj.next()) {

return prj.project_manager;
//return prj.u_demand.u_rescreen_labor_hours;

}
},
type: 'TestingUtil'
});

Pass the values in to json object and parse them on client side.

Script include:

var TestingUtil = Class.create();
TestingUtil.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

getParentValues: function(){
var jsonObj={};
var uid = this.getParameter('sysparm_recparent');
var prj = new GlideRecord('pm_project');
prj.addQuery('sys_id',uid);
prj.query();
if (prj.next()) {

jsonObj.owner=String(prj.project_manager);
jsonObj.hours=String(prj.u_demand.u_rescreen_labor_hours);

}
return JSON.stringify(jsonObj);
},
type: 'TestingUtil'
});

Client script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;

}

var parentRec = g_form.getValue('parent');

var ga = new GlideAjax('TestingUtil');
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getParentValues');
ga.addParam('sysparm_recparent', parentRec);
ga.getXML(myCallBack);

function myCallBack(response) {
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
var jsonObj=JSON.parse(answer);
g_form.setValue('u_owner', jsonObj.owner);
g_form.setValue('u_planned_hours', jsonObj.hours);
}

}
