Hi Deepika,

you cant - you can use console.log() or JSLog() [ServiceNow's logger for frontend] but not same as gs.log() [ which writes in the log]. As alternative you can try with an AJAX but I dont believe thats a good idea - too may DB hits for something you need only on the front end. Apart from that there is a way to check all Tomcat's activities by appending this to your ServiceNow's URL - https://your.sn_inastance.com/channel.do?sysparm_channel=logtail

But there is a way too much data in there if you ask me 🙂

Cheers,

Joro

Hi,

use JSLog() for debugging in client scripts.

Hi,

Your UI action is client script so gs.log() won't work

You can add alert statement to check the value
