Passing current record sys_id to widget in UI16

[Ashley]

Good Evening,

I have a challenge for everyone, I am currently building a scoped application within ServiceNow, a widget is being placed on the incident form which will dynamically change based on the record being viewed.

I am using a UI Macro and UI Formatter to display the widget on the incident form, the final piece of the puzzle is to be able to grab the record sys_id and pass this to the widget to grab the required data.

UI Macro:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
	<iframe src="/$sp?id=checklistwidget" width="100%" scrolling="no" style="border:none;min-height:400px;"></iframe>
	<script>
		var sysid = ${sys_id}
	</script>
</j:jelly>

I can get the sys_id to display on the form, in the widget I tried using gs.getParameter() but I think as this is a scoped application I don't seem to have access to the url.

I also tried to use gs.action.getGlideURI().toString(); but this doesn't return anything either.

Any ideas?

Kind Regards

Ashley

Managed to resolve this with using:

var gURI = new GlideURI(); //for Scoped Applications
var sysid = gURI.get('sys_id');
gs.info(sysid);
