Need to use variables from client side function in server side function on an UI action.

[Reddymahesh]

I am working on an UI action button, In which I need to use variables from client side function in next server side function . But I am getting undefined values in the description

Below is the code of UI action

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

var FirstName;

var LastName;

function ChangeName() {

    FirstName = prompt("Enter Firstname");

    LastName = prompt("Enter Lastname");

    if (FirstName && LastName) {

        alert('Name captured is ' + FirstName + " " + LastName);

    }

    gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), "user_change_name");

}

if (typeof window == 'undefined')

    updateItem();

function updateItem() {

    var gr = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');

    gr.initialize();

    gr.assignment_group = '4a1d990547056510d2c3b604836d432e'; // ServiceNow admin team

    gr.description = 'Change the name to: ' + FirstName + ' ' + LastName;

    gr.insert();

    action.setRedirectURL(current);

}

Hi @Reddymahesh ,

Did you see the prompt after clicking the button? and did you get the log "gs.log('script include has been called 160216');"?

Your script include need to be Client callable (tick checkbox) and the script is something like this:

var testScriptInclude = Class.create();
testScriptInclude.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
    testFunc: function() {
        var gr = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');
        gr.initialize();
        gr.assignment_group = '4a1d990547056510d2c3b604836d432e'; // ServiceNow admin team
        gr.description = 'Change the name to: ' + this.getParameter('sysparm_fullname');
        gr.insert();
    },

    type: 'testScriptInclude'
});

Your UI action: Client checkbox ticked and put the "ChangeName()" to the onclick field. You don't need to fill in 'Action name'.

I have tested before giving you solution, I also tested again and it works. Please check your script again.
