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

@Ankur Bawiskar Worked a treat, thanks. Now how can I wrap inside a condition that the client script only applies if the catalog item has been opened from the incident?
