How to take field values from form layout to UI Macro

kms · ‎08-29-2016

Hi All,

I have created a UI Macro and need to make it visible only to requester. Requester value is stored in opened by field

<j:set var="jvar_opened" value="${jvar_gr.getValue('opened_by')}"/>

Does jvar_opened contain sys_id of requester ?

Also I have tried with 'table_name.opened_by' and 'current.opened_by' . But it returned null.

Please help me with this. I need to get the sys_id of opened_by field in UI macro

My bad. You need to use phase 2 . Here you go

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<g2:evaluate var="jvar_page" jelly="true">

var page=current.opened_by;

page;

</g2:evaluate>

<g2:evaluate var="jvar_login_user" jelly="true">

gs.getUserID();

</g2:evaluate>

<html>

<head>

</script>

</head>

<body>

<j2:if test="$[jvar_page ==jvar_login_user]" >

<p>Show content</p>

</j2:if>

</body>

</html>

</j:jelly>

Do you have any personal developer instance? I will replicate there. It should work. This is what I see on my instance

Yes I have

Please help me with this. I am not able to show any field values there also

Check your instance. I have create a new UI macro with name test and created a formatter on incident table with name Test and added it to the form layout. It is working as expected. Not sure what you are referring to when you say returning null.

Thanks a lot for your help

I appreciate this a lot

I found the issue for retrning null. I used ${jvar_page} instead of $[jvar_page]
