Programmatically setting user preferences, which are being ignored.

[geoffcox]

I have a requirement for a UI action to toggle back and forth between views of the Incident form. It's easy enough to redirect the user to a particular view, but the user interface is not remembering the setting as the user's preferred view. So I programmatically insert records into the user preference table, but the system is ignoring these preferences, until I logout and log back in. Are the user preferences also being maintained in the session data somehow?

Try this code. It will do all the heavy lifting in the background.

gs.getUser().setPreference('user_preference_name', 'user_preference_value');

Syntax for client-side scripts is almost the same but without the gs,getUser() part:

setPreference('user_preference_name', 'user_preference_value');

The client side method does work! Thanks very much.
