Set Value of a field on the record not available on form once the onload client script runs

[Nishant16]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to run Client Script based on a condition that the record field "Is Present" is true then run the client script. 

Field "Is Present" is not available on form, so i pass this value to Client script using scratchpad, now once the client script runs i need to set this Field value to false, how can i do this.

if(g_scratchpad.IsPresent)){
var rstate = g_form.getValue("state");
if(rstate.includes("closed")) {
g_form.setReadOnly("state", true);
}
}

Hi @Nishant16 ,

Could you please check the below mentioned code.

if (g_scratchpad.IsPresent) {

  var rstate = g_form.getValue("state");

  if (rstate.includes("closed")) {

    g_form.setReadOnly("state", true);

    // Update the record to set "Is Present" to false

    var gr = new GlideRecord('<table_name>');

    gr.get(g_form.getUniqueValue());

    gr.setValue('Is Present', false);

    gr.update();

  }

}

Its not a good practice to add GlideRecord in a client script.

Hi @Nishant16 

you cannot set the field which is not on form through client script. you can perform this update using business rule.

What is the logic behind the field IsPresent? Is it supposed to be false for all closed records?

If so then you can write a BR to do so.
