UI Action Issue

[Dave_p]

Hi,

I have two questions please.

1. The code isn't working. 

function demoClientScript() {
    var answer = confirm('Do you want to close Child incident?');
    if (answer == true) {
        gsftSubmit(null, g_form.formElement(), 'sys_demoaction');
    }
}

var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
gr.addQuery('parent_incident',  current.sys_id);
gr.query();
while(gr.next()){
	gr.state = '7';
	gr.resolution_code='duplicate';
	gr.resolution_notes='I love you Cloeh';
	gr.update();
}
action.setRedirectURL(current);

2. In very simple terms please explain me when should I use 'current' and when should I use 'gr.

Regards

Suman P.

@Dave_p 

current means the glideRecord object of the form being opened

gr is just name of gliderecord object for your table mentioned i.e. incident

update script as this

function demoClientScript() {
    var answer = confirm('Do you want to close Child incident?');
    if (answer == true) {
        gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'sys_demoaction');
    }
}

if (typeof window == 'undefined')
    runServerCode();

function runServerCode() {
    var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
    gr.addQuery('parent_incident', current.sys_id);
    gr.query();
    while (gr.next()) {
        gr.state = '7';
        gr.resolution_code = 'duplicate';
        gr.resolution_notes = 'I love you Cloeh';
        gr.update();
    }
    action.setRedirectURL(current);
}
