simple glideAjax in scoped app killing me

I'm building a small little custom app and the requirement needs me to auto set certain groups based on state.

typically I would do this with assignment rules but I have to also do other things that cannot be done with rules.

That said, I am leveraging UI Policy (if true or if false script blocks).

I have created a glide ajax Script Include in the new custom application scope with client callable checked.

I have created three system properties + system properties category and Module to display the properties in the application.

I have created a UI Policy with condition (state = draft) and then in the execute if true script block I have written a fairly simple glideAjax script.

The issue seems to be with parsing the result.   If I gs.warn() on the script include it correctly logs what I want just before calling "return" to send the results back to the client.

Here is the UI Policy Script:

function onCondition() {

  try {

  g_form.clearValue('assigned_to');

  g_form.setDisplay('assigned_to', false);

  var ga = new GlideAjax('u_docit_ajax');

  ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getGSDProperties');

  ga.addParam('sysparm_property', 'x_10032_gtd_dev.sn.developers.group');

  ga.getXML(myCallBack);

  }

  catch(err) {

  console.log(err);

  }

}

function myCallBack(response) {

  var answer = response.responesXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

  alert('my answer is: ' + answer);

  //*** g_form.setValue('fieldname', 'sys_id', 'name') ***//

  //g_form.setValue('assigned_to', answer); //answer is coming back as: 'c0c602364f55d20036988ab18110c7f8', 'SN Developers'

}

Here is my Script Include:

var u_docit_ajax = Class.create();

u_docit_ajax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(global.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

//u_docit_ajax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(x_10032_gtd_dev.u_docit_ajax.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

// u_docit_ajax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

  /*

  * @getGSDProperties - GlideAjax function called from client script

  * @sysparm_property - This will be the sys_parameter name passed in from the client

  * @returns - The value of the given property

  */

  getGSDProperties: function() {

  var sysProp         = this.getParameter('sysparm_property');

  gs.warn('***DEBUG: gs.getProperty(sysProp) is: ' + gs.getProperty(sysProp));

  return gs.getProperty(sysProp);

  }

});

Here is an error in the system log when the Script Include is processing:

And here is a Java console error when the client-side codes runs when form loads:

HI Emyrold,



You need to have 2 properties or You need to split the property into display name and sys_id and   pass them separately for the   setValue method.



Hope this helps



Thanks

Hi Pradeep,



Yes, when I alert( g_scratchpad.sn_developers_group); I get the same value, however I cannot copy and paste from the alert pop-up so that is why I did jslog() so I can copy and past the results to look for any weird trailing spaces or anything...

Thanks for the update.


Can you open the client editor and then run this line


g_form.setValue('assignment_group', g_scratchpad.sn_developers_group); //Replace g_scratchpad.sn_developers_group with the hardcoded sys_id to check if it works or not.


Hi Pradeep,



What do you mean by opening the client editor?

Open the form and type control+Shift+J


Hi Pradeep,



Yes when I run the code in the client editor, I am getting the same result:



g_form.setValue('assignment_group', 'c0c602364f55d20036988ab18110c7f8', 'SN Developers'); *** correctly sets the group.


g_form.setValue('assignment_group', g_scratchpad.sn_developers_group);   ***does not set the group.
