Hello,

Can anyone let me know how to pass values on to the table fields after clicking New button on the Related List?

Example:

On the INcident form, I have added a related list Incident Task and when I click on INcident Task related list's New button, I want to have the caller field of the Incident to be copied and set automatically on the opened Incident Task form.

Thanks!

You need to create a New UI action with Name: "New", override the Global New Related List UI action.



Keep the condition as: (new GlideRecord(current.getTableName())).canCreate() && !RP.getListControl().isOmitNewButton() && RP.isRelatedList()   && current.getTableName() == 'incident_task'



and in the script, you can set values:



current.caller_id=current.parent.caller_id;

Anurag,



I have done the below, but it's not working:



1. Created another Global UI Action with Condition as


(new GlideRecord(current.getTableName())).canCreate() && !RP.getListControl().isOmitNewButton() && RP.isRelatedList()   && current.getTableName() == 'incident_task'


and with script as


current.assigned_to=current.parent.assigned_to;



In the Overrides field, I have selected the New UI Action that applicable on my related list.



Please let me know my mistake.

Ok 2 things, have you set the Action same as overridden new button?


If yes, try keeping the table of new button as Incident Task instead of Global and remove the 'current.getTableName() == 'incident_task'' condition.


Next, is the parent field being set as parent incident?
