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 ,

If you are doing it in scoped app, call Script include like this: 

var ga = new GlideAjax('API name');

Hi @Reddymahesh ,

Did you make it work by calling your script include with scope app and name as my response above? Looking forward to see if I can assist with anything

Hi @Community Alums ,

Thanks for your reply. Can we add this UI action to a landing page?.

Hi @Reddymahesh ,

If you want to add to Workspace there is a Workspace tab where you can choose Workspace Form Button to make the UI action appear on the line of UI actions, or Workspace Form Menu to make it appears as a list item in the menu list.

If the code for the UI action I provided earlier works for the creation of RITM and can populate description successfully could you please mark the answer as correct? Thank you

I want to add it be added to a  landing page not on any workspace, We need to do it through UI builder. Any idea on how to achieve this
