Reference Qualifier

Mark Wood · ‎03-18-2024

Hello Experts,

I have written the following script to restrict data for the "Assignment Group" field based on the "Assigned To" field. If the "Assigned To" is Fred Luddy, then I want to show all assignments belonging to Fred Luddy. I am calling my script include using an advanced reference qualifier. When I manually pass the sys_id of the user through a background script, I am getting the correct result without any issues. Please guide me on why it's not working.

Script Include:

var  BackfillAssignmentGroup_Using_Array = Class.create();
 BackfillAssignmentGroup_Using_Array.prototype = {
    initialize: function() {
    },
getGroups:function(user)
{
	if(!user)
	{
return;

	}
var group=new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
group.addQuery('user',user);
group.query();
var group_Array=[];
while(group.next())
{
group_Array.push(group.getValue('sys_id'));
}
return "sys_idIN"+group_Array.toString();
},
    type: ' BackfillAssignmentGroup_Using_Array'
};

Advance Reference Qualifier for Assignment group field.

javascript&colon;new BackfillAssignmentGroup_Using_Array().getGroups(current.assigned_to)

Hello @Mark Wood ,

Thank you very much, and I genuinely appreciate your kind words!🤗 & I've implemented your latest suggestions and made the necessary changes. Now, you have two approaches to choose from:

Approach 1: Using Reference Qualifier Only

Please find the below reference qualifier code:

javascript&colon; if(current.assigned_to !="")'sys_idIN' + new global.ArrayUtil().convertArray(gs.getUser().getUserByID(current.assigned_to.toString()).getMyGroups()); else'active=true';

Note: While it's often mentioned that using if-else conditions in reference qualifiers might not be considered best practice, I've personally found it effective in many cases. Additionally, I came across an article that also supports this approach. So, feel free to utilize it as needed.

Approach 2: Using Script Include and Reference Qualifier

Alternatively, if you prefer to avoid if-else conditions in reference qualifiers, you can utilize a script include. I've created a script include named AssignmentGroupReferenceQualifier with the following code:

var AssignmentGroupReferenceQualifier = Class.create();
AssignmentGroupReferenceQualifier.prototype = {
    initialize: function() {
    },

    getAssignmentGroups: function(assignedTo) {
        if (!assignedTo || assignedTo.nil()) {
            // If Assigned To is empty, return all assignment groups
            return 'active=true';
        } else {
            // If Assigned To is not empty, return groups based on the selected user
            return 'sys_idIN' + new global.ArrayUtil().convertArray(gs.getUser().getUserByID(assignedTo.toString()).getMyGroups());
        }
    },

    type: 'AssignmentGroupReferenceQualifier'
};

To use this script include in your reference qualifier, use the following code:

javascript&colon; new AssignmentGroupReferenceQualifier().getAssignmentGroups(current.assigned_to)

Please let me know if you have any further doubts or concerns so that we can address them accordingly. If everything is clear,

Please Mark ✅Correct if this solves your query and also mark 👍Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Thanks & Regards,

Aniket.

I have written code to call script include function from reference qualifier and values displayed based on the another variable

Reference Qualifier: javascript&colon; new global.UserList().getQuestionChoice(current.variables.line_of_business.getDisplayValue());

API Name: global.UserList

methodName: getQuestionChoice

Script Include:

var UserList = Class.create();

UserList.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

getQuestionChoice: function(lineOfBussiness) {

spqtid = '2f22360693858210fc78f15a7bba1098';

var filterQuery = 'question=' + spqtid;

var labelgr = new GlideRecord("label");

labelgr.addQuery("name", 'IN', lineOfBussiness);

labelgr.query();

var i = 0;

var tagfilterQuery = "";

while (labelgr.next()) {

if (i > 0) {

tagfilterQuery = tagfilterQuery + '^OR';

} else {

tagfilterQuery = tagfilterQuery + '^';

}

tagfilterQuery = tagfilterQuery + 'sys_tags.' + labelgr.sys_id + '=' + labelgr.sys_id;

i++;

}

if (i == 0) {

return 'sys_idISEMPTY';

}

filterQuery = filterQuery + tagfilterQuery;

gs.log("ramesh-" + lineOfBussiness + labelgr.getRowCount() + "filterQuery" + filterQuery);

return filterQuery;

},

type: 'UserList'

});
