Need help in passing value from UI Page to UI action?

[saint]

Hi Experts,

I have a scenarios where,

List choice UI action is on a location table, when I select multiple locations and click the UI action, a record is created for each selected location in one of the custom table, I have achieved this functionality.

Now the further requirement is when user selects the locations and clicks the UI action, he/she should also be able to enter a date which will then be populated in a date field on the new record created in custom table. Let me know if I can solve this with any method other than below which I'm trying.

I am using a UI page to show a popup of date field for user input, but now I cannot use my script in UI action itself to pass the values of selected locations. What I want to achive now is  pass the values of selected locations from UI page to UI action to process further or ( pass it from UI page to its processing script and then to SI for updation )

Please let me know if any more info or inputs are needed. 

Thanks

update as this

HTML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
	<g:ui_form id="scope">
		<g:evaluate var="jvar_id" expression="RP.getParameterValue('entity')"/>
		<input type="hidden" value="${jvar_id}" id="record_sysIds"/>
		<table>
			<tr>
				<td>Due date</td>
				<td><input type="date" id="date_id" name="date"/></td>
				<td><input type="hidden" id="jvar_answer" name="jvar_answer" value=""/></td>
			</tr>
			<g:dialog_buttons_ok_cancel cancel="return onCancel();" ok="return onSubmit();"/>
		</table>
	</g:ui_form>

</j:jelly>

Client Script:

function onCancel() {
	GlideDialogWindow.get().destroy();
	return false;
} 

function onSubmit() {

	var date = gel('date_id').value;
	var sysIds = gel('record_sysIds').value;

	// now you can use GlideAjax and pass the sysIds and the date selected
}

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar ,

Thank you very much. I'm using this script, the issue I see currently is, I'm able to see the selected sys_id in my UI action, but when I pass them and try to alert them in the UI page client script onSubmit fucntion I get null. I'm still trying to find what's wrong, please assist if you can.

function onSubmit() {

alert("test")// gets printed
	var date = gel('date_id').value;
	var sysIds = gel('record_sysIds').value;
alert(date); // gets printed
alert(sysIds);// returns empty.

update as this. Also are you using my HTML in the UI page?

function launch() {

var selected_entities = g_list.getChecked(); // I want to pass this value till SI to create new records
***NEED HELP IN THIS****CHECK ABOVE COMMENT****
var modal = new GlideDialogWindow('sn_risk_advanced_scopeduedate');
modal.setTitle('Select Due Date');
modal.setPreference('sysparm_view', 'default');
modal.setPreference('entity',selected_entities);
modal.render();
}
