not able to set the URL value in catalog item due to '&' as it is considering it as seperator

[sachins1]

Hi All,

I am trying to get the values through an URL and put them on different fields in a catalog item. In the same process a field where value/Text should be set as 'Marketing & specialist' . I am only getting 'Marketting' and rest is missing as i believe it is considering '&' as seperator. So in URL instead of '&' it's showing '%26'.

Here is my script:

function onLoad() {

    var url = top.location.href;

var name = new URLSearchParams(url).get("sysparm_employeename");

    alert(name);

    var manager = new URLSearchParams(url).get("sysparm_manager");

    var department = new URLSearchParams(url).get("sysparm_department");

    var title = getDecodedParam("sysparm_title");

    var startdate = new URLSearchParams(url).get("sysparm_startdate");

    var reqID = new URLSearchParams(url).get('sysparm_sys_id');

    var worklocation = new URLSearchParams(url).get("sysparm_location");

    var dt = startdate.split(' ')[0];

   

 g_form.setValue('employeename', name);

    g_form.setValue('manager', manager);

    g_form.setValue('department', department);

    g_form.setValue('job_title', title);

    g_form.setValue('start_date', dt);

    g_form.setValue('work_location', worklocation);

    g_form.setValue('reqnumber', reqID);

}

I have tried using decodeURIComponent as well as EncodeURIComponent but nothing worked.

Any help would be appreciated.

try this

function onLoad() {
    var url = top.location.href;
    var params = new URLSearchParams(url.split('?')[1]);

    var name = decodeURIComponent(params.get("sysparm_employeename"));
    var manager = decodeURIComponent(params.get("sysparm_manager"));
    var department = decodeURIComponent(params.get("sysparm_department"));
    var title = decodeURIComponent(params.get("sysparm_title"));
    var startdate = decodeURIComponent(params.get("sysparm_startdate"));
    var reqID = decodeURIComponent(params.get('sysparm_sys_id'));
    var worklocation = decodeURIComponent(params.get("sysparm_location"));
    var dt = startdate.split(' ')[0];

    g_form.setValue('employeename', name);
    g_form.setValue('manager', manager);
    g_form.setValue('department', department);
    g_form.setValue('job_title', title);
    g_form.setValue('start_date', dt);
    g_form.setValue('work_location', worklocation);
    g_form.setValue('reqnumber', reqID);
}

Hi Ankur,

Appreciate your quick response, i have checked it but it's giving 'null'.

@sachins1 

what came in alert for those individual values? none of the values came?

Did you see that?

where are you testing this? portal or native?

Yes, i checked alert as well and it came as blank. None of the values came. And it's native.
