"current" isn't defined in UI Action?

[grosch]

I've created a new UI Action against the cmdb_model table where I've selected:

• Active
• Show update
• Client
• Form Link

For the onclick I just specified "showDialog()" and then in the script window, inside my showDialog() function, I'm trying to use the 'current' variable.   I'm getting a runtime error that current isn't a defined variable.

How do I get access to the model that the person is currently viewing from the UI Action?

Hi Scott,

"current" is only available server-side. For client-side access to the current record, use g_form.

Scott,

Since you are using client side of UI Action, you need to use g_form

Hi Scott,

Please refer the below link for more info on how to use client & server in one UI action.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Scott, you can do that by grabbing the sys_id of the record in use by using:

g_form.getUniqueValue()

That will give you the sys id of the model

Thanks,
