    var getValues = new GlideAjax('x_cenv_api_hbm_ton.FetchAdditionalDetails'); 

    getValues.addParam('sysparm_name', 'GetDetailsAPI'); 

    getValues.addParam('sysparm_asset', assetID);

    getValues.getXML(getResponse)

var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

 var formatJSON = JSON.parse(answer);

 g_form.setValue('u_stock', formatJSON.Stock);

Hi @String 

I think you need to correct the script , thats not how its done.

make sure of above highlighted areas

here is the script:

function getDetails() {
    var v_displayRef = g_form.getReference('display_name');
    var referencedSysId = g_form.getValue('display_name');
    var assetID = referencedSysId;
    var getValues = new GlideAjax('x_cenv_api_hbm_ton.FetchAdditionalDetails');
    getValues.addParam('sysparm_name', 'GetDetailsAPI');
    getValues.addParam('sysparm_asset', assetID);
    getValues.getXML(getResponse);
    function getResponse(response) {
        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
        var formatJSON = JSON.parse(answer);
        g_form.setValue('u_stock', formatJSON.Stock);
		gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), "getDetailsAction");
    }
}
if (typeof window == 'undefined')
   setRedirect();

function setRedirect() {
    current.update();
    action.setRedirectURL(current);
}

function getDetails() {

    var v_displayRef = g_form.getReference('display_name');

    var referencedSysId = g_form.getValue('display_name');

    var loadingDialog = new GlideDialogWindow('load_meter', true);

    //loadingDialog.setPreference('table', 'loading');

    loadingDialog.setTitle('Please wait..');

    loadingDialog.setSize(400, 200);

    loadingDialog.render();

    var assetID = referencedSysId;

    var getValues = new GlideAjax('x_cenv_api_hbm_ton.FetchAdditionalDetails'); //Calling Script Include.

    getValues.addParam('sysparm_name', 'GetDetailsAPI'); // Function name of the script include.

    getValues.addParam('sysparm_asset', assetID);

    getValues.getXML(getResponse.bind({

        dialog: loadingDialog

    }));

}

function getResponse(response) {

    var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

    if (answer != 500) {

        try {

            var formatJSON = JSON.parse(answer);

            if (g_form.getValue('u_date_since_last_heart_beat') == formatJSON.DaysSinceLastHB && g_form.getValue('u_last_communicaton_date') == formatJSON.LastComDate && g_form.getValue('u_stock_location_id') == formatJSON.StockLocationId && g_form.getValue('u_stock_location_name') == formatJSON.StockLocationName && g_form.getValue('u_toner_enabled') == formatJSON.TonerEnabledFlag.toLowerCase()) {

                this.dialog.destroy();

g_form.addInfoMessage("No new updates on Additional Details ");

                //gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), "getDetailsAction");

            } else {

                g_form.setValue('u_date_since_last_heart_beat', formatJSON.DaysSinceLastHB);

                g_form.setValue('u_last_communicaton_date', formatJSON.LastComDate);

                g_form.setValue('u_toner_enabled', formatJSON.TonerEnabledFlag);

                if (formatJSON.StockLocationId != undefined) {

                    g_form.setValue('u_stock_location_id', formatJSON.StockLocationId);

                }

                if (formatJSON.StockLocationName != undefined) {

                    g_form.setValue('u_stock_location_name', formatJSON.StockLocationName);

                }

                this.dialog.destroy();

                g_form.addInfoMessage("Below fileds are updated ");

                gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), "getDetailsAction");

            }

        } catch (error) {

            this.dialog.destroy();

            g_form.addErrorMessage("Error occurred, please try after some time.", error);

        }

    } else {

        this.dialog.destroy();

        g_form.addErrorMessage('Error occurred, please try after some time');

    }

}

if (typeof window == 'undefined')

    setRedirect();

function setRedirect() {

    current.update();

    action.setRedirectURL(current);

}

now code is able to submit the form and redirect to the same record but  g_form.addInfoMessage("Below fileds are updated "); is not showed because form is immediately getting redirect .Is there any way to Pause the form for 5 secs to show the message to the agent on screen (form) and redirect  !

@String remove   g_form.addInfoMessage("Below fileds are updated "); 

line above gsftSubmit().

and add it in setRedirect()

function setRedirect() {
current.update();
gs.addInfoMessage('Below fileds are updated');
action.setRedirectURL(current);
}
