Pass params from UI Action to UI Page

Or Kalev2 · ‎04-08-2024

Hi all,
I have a UI action that calls UI Page.
I used the new GlideDialogWindows to render the UI Page as popup

function PopUIPage(){
	var sysIds = g_list.getChecked();
	var gdw = new GlideDialogWindow('ui_page');
	gdw.setSize(750,300);
	gdw.setPreference("sys_ids", sysIds);
	gdw.render();
}

Then I try to get the 'sys_ids' on the UI Page.
Where I can get them? At the HTML? Client Script? I try every thing without any success.
Thanks.

Hi @Or Kalev2,

Hope you are doing well.

Proposed Solution

In order to achieve this task, I personally tried it on my "Personal Developer Instance" so that you can get the solution as soon as possible. For this, you just need to get all the "Sys IDs" in "HTML/XML Section" of your "UI Page" to get your query resolved. Attaching my Scripts and some snapshots of the outputs for your reference mentioned below: -

UI Action: -

function confirmAction() {
    var sysIds = g_list.getChecked();
    alert(sysIds);
    var dialog = new GlideDialogWindow('incident_details');
    dialog.setTitle('Incident Details');
    dialog.setSize(550, 200); // consists of Height and Width
    dialog.setPreference('sysparm_sysid', sysIds);
    dialog.render();
}

UI Page: -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
<g:evaluate var="jvar_sysid" expression="RP.getWindowProperties().get('sysparm_sysid')" />
<p>${jvar_sysid}</p>
</j:jelly>

Outputs: -

I saw the post, I got an error that g_scratchpad is not define

Check this UI Action and how they have defined the g_scratchpad variable and access that in UI Page

The code of the UI Page should be at the Client Script part of the UI Action?
Because I get an error.
