Setvalue is not updating properly in onchange for multiline text field type

Bala13 · ‎08-09-2022

Hi,

I am writing a script to populate the values from list collector to Multi line text field using catalog client script onchange function.

But, when the iteration is happening it is overriding the first name and updating 2nd time. Please help me to get this fixed.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }

    var reqNam = [];
    var reqForList = g_form.getValue('requestedfor');
    alert("Req list " + reqForList);

    var reqFor = reqForList.split(',');
    alert("Requested for" + " " + reqFor);

    for (i = 0; i < reqFor.length; i++) {
        var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
        gr.addQuery('sys_id', reqFor[i]);
        gr.query(myCallbackFunction);

        function myCallbackFunction(gr) {
            while(gr.next()) {

                reqNam.push(gr.name);
                alert("Check name" + "--" + reqNam);
            }
 g_form.setValue('u_request_roles_list', reqNam);
        }

    }
   


}

Hi Bala,

Here is the working code. Just change your field names and tablename in script include

getListCollector: function() {
var array = [];
var sysID = this.getParameter('sysparm_id'); // get values from client script

gs.info("listArray sysID"+sysID);

var user = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
user.addQuery('sys_id','IN',sysID); // sysid contains list collector values
user.query();
while (user.next()) {
array.push(user.name.toString());
}
gs.info("Array"+array);
return array.join(','); // return array

},

Client SCript:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;
}

var ga = new GlideAjax('listCollector'); // SCript Include name
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getListCollector'); // function name in SCript includes
ga.addParam('sysparm_id', newValue);// pass list collector values to script include
ga.getXML(getResponse);

}

function getResponse(response){
var answer= response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
alert("answer"+answer);
g_form.setValue('test',answer); // set your variable name



}

Harish

Apologies.

Please remove count++.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }
    
  var result1 = ""; //new var to store final result to set as value of multi line text
    var reqNam = [];
    var reqForList = g_form.getValue('requestedfor');
    alert("Req list " + reqForList);

    var reqFor = reqForList.split(',');
    alert("Requested for" + " " + reqFor);

    for (i = 0; i < reqFor.length; i++) {
        var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
        gr.addQuery('sys_id', reqFor[i]);
        gr.query(myCallbackFunction);
}

        function myCallbackFunction(gr) {
            while(gr.next()) {
                reqNam.push(gr.name.toString());
                alert("Check name" + "--" + reqNam);
            }
        }
      for(var i =0; i<reqNam.length;i++)
    {
        result1 = result1+'\n'+reqNam[i];
    }
    result1 = result1.trim();

g_form.setValue('u_request_roles_list', result1);
}
