Output to an object array

[KB15]

I can I output this loop to an object? I think this is my issue with JSON not being able to parse this out in a client script.

The loop is just combining the results from "prop" and "variable" into an array.

    getReqFields: function() {
        var item = this.getParameter('sysparm_request');
        var reqTable = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');
        reqTable.addQuery('sys_id', item);
        reqTable.query();

        if (reqTable.next()) {

            var str = [];

            for (var prop in reqTable.variables) {
                if (reqTable.variables.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
                    var variable = reqTable.variables[prop];
					
                    str.push('\"' + prop + '\":\"' + variable + '\"');
                }
            }
	
		return JSON.stringify(newStr);

        }
    },

Trying the below doesn't provide the variable data. I thought I could simply combine the results into an array and then try to reparse it. 

str.push(prop);
str.push(variable);

Thought I'd try something different but the script provided unfortunately does not work:

Can you share client script code snippet as well.

I'm only trying to return a single value for now until I can get this script working.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }

    //variables
    var reqItem = g_form.getValue('previous_request');

    var ga = new GlideAjax('getSupplierRequestVar'); //script include
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getReqFields'); //call function
    ga.addParam('sysparm_request', reqItem);
    ga.getXML(stateCallback);

    function stateCallback(response) {
        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer');
		var returneddata = JSON.parse(answer);
		
		alert(returneddata);
		
        g_form.setValue('supplier_name', returneddata.supplier_name);

    }
}

Hi,

you are doing alert with JSON.parse() so it shows object

if you do alert like this; you will see the json string

function stateCallback(response) {
        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer');
        alert('JSON String is: ' + answer);
	var returneddata = JSON.parse(answer);	
		
        g_form.setValue('supplier_name', returneddata.supplier_name);

    }

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

I was thinking I could see the output after it's parsed that way.

The formatting doesn't seem to fit for the way the client script is set up to parse out. It appears as:

{"prop":"name","variable":"value"},{"prop":"name","variable":"value"}

The output is grouped and shows the name and the variable. I believe it should just simply show each entry as:

{"name":"value","name":"value"}
