Need help with population of roles and groups in catalog item

[shaik riyaz1]

Hi,

I’m working on a catalog item where I need to configure two fields with the below behavior:

Field Name: Roles assigned to the user

Requirement: It should show the list of all roles assigned to the logged-in user(Requested for) field, basically fetched from the sys_user_has_role table.

Field Name: Groups associated with the selected role

Type: Multi-select dropdown

Requirement:

When a role is selected in the “Roles assigned to user” field,

the system should display all groups associated with that role (in which the user is a member).

All those groups should be auto-selected by default, but the user should be able to deselect if needed.

I’m trying to implement this logic using a catalog client script and script include, but I’m not sure about the best approach to dynamically populate the multi-select dropdown based on the selected role.

Has anyone implemented something similar or can guide on the right way to achieve this (preferably without using gel or DOM methods)?

Thanks

Ideally you should do this

1) 1st variable point to sys_user_role table with advanced ref qualifier as this

javascript: var query;
var cu = gs.getUser();
query = 'nameIN' + new global.ArrayUtil().convertArray(cu.getRoles());
query;

2) 2nd variable point to sys_user_group, list collector type

refer my blog on how to set list collector based onchange + GlideAjax
