Hello @Community Alums ,

 this.getParameter('sysparm_id'): It's like asking script to give you a specific piece of information called 'sysparm_id'. for example if you pass some information from Client script to script include. 

.toString(): Once you've got that piece of information, it might be in a format that's not easy to work with, like it's written in a secret code. `.toString()` is like decoding it and making it understandable String Format. 

.split(',') Now that you have a plain piece of information, it might actually be a list of things separated by commas. .split(',') is like cutting that list into individual pieces. So, if you had "apple,banana,orange," it would split it into three pieces: "apple," "banana," and "orange."

Kindly mark correct and helpful if applicable
