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

PhoenixMing0912 · ‎05-04-2020

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,

I haven't come across scenario where you will write code after gsftSubmit()

that line is used to pass control from client to server only client side script or validations are done

you can have async GlideAjax just before gsftSubmit() is you want to update the record and that script include function will update the record

Thanks for the reply. These threads focus on using gsftSubmit to make the UI Action work on server side. It's not really the question I asked.

Hello Phoenix,

Can you provide some additional details on what you are trying to accomplish? You can execute client side code in the UI action (client checkbox to true) and make a call to GlideAjax to execute the server side code.

Yes, GildeAjax is an alternative way, but how to pass the current record to GlideAjax?

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