Hi
Having got my UI Action to successfully create a child record and store the reference to the Parent, my next task is to generalize the code to create the child so I can call it from different forms.
I modeled my new UI Action and Script include in the community thread
https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=96da8b6ddb5cdbc01dcaf3231f9619a6
My script include has this code:
var commentCreate = Class.create();
commentCreate.prototype = {
initialize: function(parent) {
this.parent = parent;
},
createcomment: function() {
var inst = new GlideRecord("x_173342_cicsv_t1_comment");
// Set the parent to point to the Project record
inst.setValue("u_parent_statement", this.parent);
// Insert new comment record
inst.insert();
// Takes us to that new record
// action.setRedirectURL(inst);
return(inst);
},
type: 'Comment create'
};
and the UI Action is:
var newComment = new commentCreate(current.sys_id);
var comment = newComment.createcomment();
action.setRedirectURL(comment);
The UI Action is not set client callable because
1. I figured the script include was executed on the server.
2. The example I modeled this on didn't specify this.
I have tried setting it client callable, but this didn't fix the issue.
When I click the button to fire the UI Action I see this in the debug log:
4:02:04.615: Evaluator: org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: "commentCreate" is not defined. Caused by error in sys_ui_action.0cb17749db2633008f1daf26489619a2.script
So it can't see my script include class in the UI Action.
This looks similar to a problem I reported having a week or so ago where I was unable to call any function I'd tried to "share" throughout the application, either using onLoad or script includes. I didn't manage to resolve that issue which has similar symptoms, the called function can't be found.
What have I done wrong?
