Hello experts!
I want to pass some properties from the parent record to the child record, when a record is made through a related list.
goal:
on table A,
when I click on 'new' on the related list,
the parents records information should be passed to the child record.
here is the parent record::
note: see button 'New4'
note: I edited the name of the button so that I could look at the code.
here is the child record
right now, the field 'order_reference' is being passed to the child record.
I want to populate populate 'short_description' and 'description' from the parent record.
this is the code for the OOB button::
var uri = action.getGlideURI();
var path = uri.getFileFromPath() + '';
path = path.substring(0, path.length - 5) + '.do';
uri.set('sys_id', '-1');
path = checkWizard(uri, path);
if (path)
action.setRedirectURL(uri.toString(path));
action.setNoPop(true);
function checkWizard(uri, path) {
var already = uri.get('WIZARD:action');
if (already == 'follow')
return null;
var wizID = new GlideappWizardIntercept(path).get();
if (!wizID)
return path;
uri.set('sysparm_parent', wizID);
uri.deleteParmameter('sysparm_referring_url');
uri.deleteMatchingParameter('sysparm_list_');
uri.deleteMatchingParameter('sysparm_record_');
uri.deleteParmameter('sys_is_list');
uri.deleteParmameter('sys_is_related_list');
uri.deleteParmameter('sys_submitted');
uri.deleteParmameter('sysparm_checked_items');
uri.deleteParmameter('sysparm_ref_list_query');
uri.deleteParmameter('sysparm_current_row');
uri.set('sysparm_referring_url', uri.toString());
uri.deleteMatchingParameter('fancy.');
uri.deleteMatchingParameter('sys_rownum');
uri.deleteMatchingParameter('sysparm_encoded');
uri.deleteMatchingParameter('sysparm_query_encoded');
uri.deleteParmameter('sysparm_refer');
return 'wizard_view.do';
}
the buttons sys_id is:: 7b37cc370a0a0b34005bd7d7c7255583
I have a client scripts on the child table that populates the fields when the 'order_reference' changes. The issue is that the script does not run when the record is opened through the related list.
I know I can do a BR to populate the fields, but I figure this is a great experience for learning how to use other ServiceNow functionality haha.
