Set choice list value from a UI Page

[palmen]

I'm trying to set a value in a choice list field (On Hold reason) on the incident form with the value I select from a UI Page.

I'm new to jelly and these kind of stuff so I assume it's something easy I'm missing here.

Everything works fine, except the new value is never saved.

I get the value and it's returned to the incident form.

The page reloads and the previous value is still present in the "On hold reason" field. Before it reloads I can see the new value there for a split second

This is what I'm working with

A Ui Action displaying a glide dialog window

function onHold2(){
   var gdw = new GlideDialogWindow('on_hold_reason');
   gdw.setTitle('Chose an On hold reason');
   gdw.setSize(400,300);
   gdw.setPreference('title', 'A New Title');
   gdw.render();
}

My UI Page looks like this

<?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:ui_form>
   <g:ui_choicelist name='HoldReason' table='incident' field='hold_reason' />
   <br />
               <br />
   <g:dialog_buttons_ok_cancel ok="return updateOnHold()"/>
   </g:ui_form>
</j:jelly>

Client script on the UI Page

function updateOnHold() {
   //Gets called if the 'OK' dialog button is clicked
   GlideDialogWindow.get().destroy(); //Close the dialog window
   var reason = gel('HoldReason').value;
   g_form.setValue('hold_reason', reason); //Set 'On Hold Reason' field with the chosen reason
   g_form.save();
}

Processing script on UI Page

// redirect back
var urlOnStack = GlideSession.get().getStack().bottom();
response.sendRedirect(urlOnStack);

I've tried without it but with the same outcome.

Try

var reason = gel('HoldReason').value;  

g_form.setValue('hold_reason', reason); //Set 'On Hold Reason' field with the chosen reason  

GlideDialogWindow.get().destroy(); //Close the dialog window

g_form.save();

Still same issue, it set the new value but never saves it.

Is there some issue with the UI Page and the use og g:ui_choicelist?

[Kalaiarasan Pus]

If you use the below 3 lines, does it sets the value to the form?

var reason = gel('HoldReason').value;

g_form.setValue('hold_reason', reason); //Set 'On Hold Reason' field with the chosen reason

GlideDialogWindow.get().destroy();

Yes, I can see that the new value is set, but when the page is reloaded the old value is displaying again.
