Rameshnathan · ‎01-04-2018

Hi

i want to pass this tow value from script include to client script,

its displaying correct value in the script include but then i get this thought client script its displaying this error ([object XMLHttpRequest])

Script Include :-

if(grp.next()){

asgment.push(grp.getDisplayValue('assignment_group'));

priority.push(grp.getDisplayValue('priority'));

}

var result =[asgment,priority];

return result;

Client Script :-

function CallBack(response){

alert(response);

g_form.setValue('short_description', response);

}

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);

}

Try

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

Hi

Yes becuse you are returning an Array
As you only have 2 values that you are getting (because ur using if(grp.next) then i might be overkill to parse 2 arrays in a new array (result) and then returning an array containing more arays.

var result = [];

if(grp.next()){

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

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

}

return result.toString();

Now in your client script you will get a string containing assignment_grop,priority

That you can split and get index[0] and index[1]

var res = answer.split(',');

for(var i = 0; i < res.length; i++){

alert(res[i]);

}

var res = answer.split(',');

g_form.setValue('short_description', res[0]);

alert(res[0]);
