Setting List Collector Selections in a Script

[Mike McCall]

I've seen a lot about how to default the filter for a list collector (pre-filling the "left side"), but I can't seem to find anything about defaulting the selected values of a list collector (to pre-fill the "right side"). The closest I came was unfortunately a dead end: How to pre-populate a collection list?

In that post, it was suggested that you should be able to set list collector selections by using the standard g_form.setValue() method (http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=GlideForm_%28g_form%29#setValue), but I can't get that to work:

// This should work, according to the Wiki:
g_form.setValue('watch_list', '1', 'Michael McCall'); // assuming that '1' were actually my sys_id value

// However, having this in a catalog client script does not work:
g_form.setValue('requested_users', '1', 'Michael McCall'); // assuming that I have a list collector variable named "requested_users"

Is it just not possible to programmatically set list collector values, or is there a special method for doing so? (I might guess it has something to do with the g_filter object, but I can't find any information about that object beyond the setFilter() method.)

Mark Correct if it solved your issue or hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy.

//Name of variable to move options from
var varName = 'YOUR_VARIABLE_NAME_HERE';
var leftBucket = gel(varName + '_select_0');
var rightBucket = gel(varName + '_select_1');
var selectedOptions = rightBucket.options;

//Get an array of all option IDs to move
var selectedIDs = new Array();
var index = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < selectedOptions.length; i++){
      selectedIDs[index] = i;
      index++;
}

//Move all returned options from right to left bucket and sort the results
//Switch 'rightBucket' and 'leftBucket' to move from left to right
moveSelectedOptions(selectedIDs, rightBucket, leftBucket, '--None--');
//Sort the resultant options in the left bucket
sortSelect(leftBucket);

Hello, this is good but doesnt work on service portal

Can you advise how to get that particular example working in service portal ?

Thank you

In Service Portal, you just pass the list selector a sys_id or a list of sys_ids that you want displayed.   For example, if the variable name of the list selector is 'selector', you could do something like this:

g_form.setValue('selector', ['sys_id_1', 'sys_id_2', ... , 'sys_id_n']);
