Reference field within UI Page not working

[matthew_hughes]

I'm working on the following UI Page on a Business Application form:

When the user clicks on the reference field, I'm expecting any children of the Business Application. So where an Application Service has the current Business Application selected as 'Business Application Name', which is also a reference field.

I'm trying to use the following code to achieve this in the HTML part of my UI Page:

<div id="referenceField" style="display:none; margin-top: 10px;">

                <g:ui_reference name = "application_services" id="application_services" table="cmdb_ci_service_discovered" query="u_bus_app_name=this.app_id"/>

            </div>

However, when I click on the reference field, I don't get any results:

Does anyone know where I'm going wrong?

@matthew_hughes 

so the reference field should show filtered results?

if yes then based on what?

From where are you calling this UI page?

what's your actual business requirement?

Yes. That is correct. 

It's based on the business application that the user has currently got open.

It's coming from a UI Action.

So based on current business app the filter should be applied

See this how I was able to show only incident assignment group in reference field

I passed the group sysId and collected that in UI page and then used query attribute to set the filter

You can also enhance for something similar for your case

UI Action:

var gm = new GlideModal('myTestingHtmlInput');
	gm.setTitle('My Page');
	gm.setPreference('sysparm_group', g_form.getValue('assignment_group'));
	gm.setSize('600', '600');
	gm.render();

UI Page:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

    <g:evaluate var="jvar_group" expression="RP.getWindowProperties().get('sysparm_group')" />

		<g:ui_reference id="group" name="group" table="sys_user_group" query="sys_idIN${jvar_group}" completer="AJAXTableCompleter"/>


</j:jelly>
