Hi @XYD23
Yes, you can have a single UI Action that runs both Client-Side and Server-Side code. This is necessary sometimes, for example in the case where you want to check additional conditions or gather additional information from the user After he clicks the UI Action but Before you pass control back to the server.
- Yes, the way it is done is fairly convoluted because both Client-Side and Server-Side script is defined in the very same script block; so only Some of the code applies Some of the time
Use Below code:
function cancelPost(){
if (g_form.getValue('work_around') == ' '){
g_form.showFieldMsg('work_around','MY ALERT MESSAGE');
return false;
}
//Call the UI Action and skip the 'onclick' function
gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'post_kb'); //MUST call the 'Action name' set in this UI Action
} 1. Check the "Client" checkbox. Normally UI Actions run only on the server, so this checkbox tells ServiceNow to run this on the client instead. But actually you will write both client-side and server-side code in the script block.
2. Define a function which will be called ONLY when the UI Action is clicked. (Not when it is rendered.)
3. Give your action a name. You will need to reference this name in the script itself. Basically, the UI Action script will "call itself", but the 2nd time it is invoked, it will be run on the server, not the client.
