Populating variables in Choice List

[ray evans]

I have a UI action on the Incident form which redirects to a catalog item form for creating a new request, which links back to the incident. I want to be able to populate some of the variables on the form using an onLoad UI client script,  the first being a select box on the catalog item, and also some values from the incident.

I have tried g_form.setValue('what_do_you_want_to_do', 'swap_asset'); but it isn't populating the variable

@ray evans 

so you want to pass category value to some variable on that catalog item?

[ray evans]

@Ankur Bawiskar I want to define the value from the choices in the select box variable, then I want to pass values from Incident for catalog item

[Ankur Bawiskar]

@ray evans 

so the select box should show choices from category field on incident form?

OR

Can you explain your question with some screenshots?

The select box is on the catalog item - I want to define the value if the form is opened from the UI action on incident

Then I want to populate some of the fields below from the fields on incident
