Hi Ramesh,



When you return a payload from the server, it must be a string. I HIGHLY recommend using JSON to ensure arrays, or objects, are preserved properly and that commas or other special characters don't get in the way of a split command. Here's an example of how you can return the priority and assignment_group display value as a JSON object, stringify it on the server side and parse it on the client side, then create your short_description based on those two properties. Sorry for the crappy formatting in the community editor.



if(grp.next()){



var myAnswer = {


        "assignment_group" : grp.getDisplayValue('assignment_group'),


"priority" : grp.getDisplayValue('priority')


};



}




var result = JSON.stringify(myAnswer);



return result;




Client Script :-



function CallBack(response){


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


var myObj = JSON.parse(answer);


var myString = myObj.assignment_group + ' ' + myObj.priority;



g_form.setValue('short_description', myString);



}

Script include returns name value pair (Array type) which you are trying to assign to the Short Description which is a String Type.



Thanks,

Can you put log in the script include for result and see the output.


Try this if you don't see output:



var result = [];


if(grp.next()){


result.push("'"+grp.getDisplayValue('assignment_group')+"'");


result.push("'"+grp.getDisplayValue('priority')+"'");


}

Hi Chuck



Thank you,



its working fine. i did small change. now its working


Script Include :


if(grp.next()){


var myAnswer = {


"assignment_group" : grp.getDisplayValue('assignment_group'),


"priority" : grp.getDisplayValue('priority')


};


var result = JSON.stringify(myAnswer);


gs.info("Test Result" + result);


return result;


}
