UI Action, is it possible that gsftSubmit() returns value?

[PhoenixMing0912]

For example

function on_test(){

    gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'test');

}

I want to do some client scripts after calling gsftSubmit() and use some values from server.

I have also tried GlideAjax, however, in my server side scripti I need to use current.update() which is not supported in AJAX script include.

Hi Phoenix,

you can pass current record sys_id; then query in script include function with that sys_id on that table; now you have the current record's glide record object; you can update whatever field you want

var sysId = g_form.getUniqueValue();

Thanks a lot.

I will give it a try later.

After a second thought, I think if you pass the sys_id and query in the script include, you just got an out-of-update record which was exising in DB, but the lastest version of record is in UI.

I think the whole record should be  passed, just like what "g_form.getFormElement()" did.

Hi Phoenix,

then in that case you can send the latest field values by adding them in GlideAjax parameter
