i want to change the read only field value through background script? please share me script

[AbhishekGardade]

which value you want to change? On which table?

Example:
var grCI = new GlideRecord('cmdb_ci');
grCI.addQuery('name','=','SAP WEB03');
grCI.query();
gs.print('grCI Query: ' + grCI.getEncodedQuery() + ' = ' + grCI.getRowCount());
while (grCI.next()){
grCI.asset_tag='ServiceNow ';
grCI.update();
}

Sample Update code:

var gr  = new GlideRecord('incident');

gr.get('06743b65dbe277c0e4d95740cf9619c5'); //SYSID OF THE RECORD.

gr.short_description ='Test'; //assuming short description is read only field

gr.update();

Note: this is sample code to update the record column.

Hi,

You can try this after replaceing table and field names.

var gr = new GlideRecord("You table name here");  //Replace table name here

gr.get("SYS_ID_OF_RECORD"); //Replace with sys_id of your record

gr.field_name = "value";  //Replace with field name and required value in here

gr.setWorkflow(false);

gr.update();

Navigate to Background Scripts:

var inc  = new GlideRecord('incident'); // Give the table name
inc.get('SYSID OF the Record you want to change');
inc.short_description = "Give the value you want to Change"; // Give the Field name
inc.setWorkflow(false);
inc.update();
