I need a way to apply a template to change record in background with template sys_id rather than template Name

[sanju41]

Example :   var ga= new GlideRecord("change_request");

                                  ga.applyTemplate("Name of template") ;

                                  ga.insert();

            I need a way to apply template with sys_id of template rather than template name

The function only takes a name.   But you can get the name via the sys_id.

var templateID = '3d5fa670dbdd2a00bd3cff9dbf96195c';
var templateName = '';
var template = new GlideRecord('sys_template');
if (template.get(templateID)) {
     templateName = template.name;
}

var chg = new GlideRecord("change_request");
chg.applyTemplate(templateName) ;
chg.insert();

I should also point out that hard-coding sys_ids is considered bad-practice and will be flagged in an ACE report.

Are you applying the Template to every change? If so you can modify the module to include the template.
