Modifying the Copy Change UI Action

The OOB UI Action Copy Change works very well, especially that it includes all related list items. However, I am trying to figure out how to modify it so that, on the newly created Change, a checkbox is set 'true' to indicate that the UI Action was used to create it.

In the Copy Change UI action, add the name of your true/false field to the line "addParam(form, 'sysparm_query', queryParam);" and set it to true. For me this was line 30:

Example:

addParam(form, 'sysparm_query', queryParam + '^u_custom_field_name=true');

 

Full script:

function OnCopyChangeClick() {
	function addParam(form, name, val) {
		var inp = cel('textarea', form);
		inp.name = name;
		inp.value = val;
	}

	var srcSysId = g_form.getUniqueValue();

	var ga = new GlideAjax('ChangeUtils');
	ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getChangeQueryParams');
	ga.addParam('sysparm_src_sysid', srcSysId);
	ga.setWantSessionMessages(true);
	ga.getXMLAnswer(function (queryParam) {
		if (queryParam) {
			var gotoUrl = [];
			gotoUrl.push('srcSysID=' + srcSysId);
			gotoUrl.push('newSysID=$sys_id');
			gotoUrl.push('sysparm_returned_action=$action');

			gotoUrl = 'CopyChangeRelatedLists.do?' + gotoUrl.join('&');

			var form = cel('form', document.body);
			hide(form);
			form.method = "POST";
			form.action = g_form.getTableName() + ".do";
			if (typeof g_ck != 'undefined' && g_ck != "")
				addParam(form, 'sysparm_ck', g_ck);
			addParam(form, 'sys_id', '-1');
			addParam(form, 'sysparm_query', queryParam + '^u_copied_change=true');
			addParam(form, 'sysparm_goto_url', gotoUrl);
			form.submit();
		}
	});
}

I added a UI Policy to set the checkbox as Read Only during my testing as well. Looks like you can use this trick for other fields as well.

Hi jonnygrove, 

Thanks, This solved my problem of copying the complete Planning tab while copying change ( including justification and implementation plan fields). 

The code I added to the script:

 

//added code to get justification and implementation_plan value from form
	var justification = g_form.getValue('justification');
	var implementation_plan = g_form.getValue('implementation_plan');
//customizing this line of code to include implementation_plan & justification values to the newly created change
	addParam(form, 'sysparm_query', queryParam + "^justification=" + justification + "^implementation_plan=" + implementation_plan);

 

 Thanks.
