UI Action to push UI Page Display HTML field

[alexcharleswort]

Hey All,

I seem to have a need where I need to make a UI Page that will display when I click a UI Action on a record. On this UI Page I need to grab the contents of an HTML field on that same record. The issue that I am having is that when the ui page display, the HTML field contents are displayed with all their tags. I tried adding <g2:no_escape> to the UI Page script and that doen't seem to work. 

Here is my code on the ui page:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<g:evaluate>
var pa = new GlideRecord('u_hr_forms'); 
pa.get('b76a050f4f5423007dc7ea7d0210c720');
</g:evaluate>

<g2:no_escape>${HTML:pa.u_verbiage.getDisplayValue()}</g2:no_escape>

</j:jelly>

When I click 'Try it' from there it shows me:

HOWEVER! When i go into that record and click the ui action it shows me: 

 Here is my code for my UI Action

function signForm(){ 

//Initialize and open the dialog  
var dialog = new GlideDialogWindow("hr_form"); //Instantiate the dialog containing the UI Page 'add_comments_dialog'  
dialog.setTitle("Sign the Request"); //Set the dialog title  
dialog.setWidth(1000);
dialog.setPreference('sysparm_draw_only', 'true');  

dialog.render(); //Open the dialog   
} 

How do i get the dialog box from the ui action to look like the try it button on the ui page record?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Alex,

Replace <g2:no_escape>${HTML:pa.html.getDisplayValue()}</g2:no_escape> with <g:no_escape>${HTML:pa.html.getDisplayValue()}</g:no_escape>

Updated code below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<g:evaluate>
var pa = new GlideRecord('hr_form');
pa.get('b76a050f4f5423007dc7ea7d0210c720');
</g:evaluate>

<g:no_escape>${HTML:pa.u_verbiage.getDisplayValue()}</g:no_escape>


</j:jelly>

Sorry, Pradeep. For some reason my notification preferences on this thing are completely messed up so I didn't know you responded. I kept getting notifications on posts that had answers marked correct that I had never even seen before so in my attempt to shut them off I managed to shut 80% of them off as well as the notifications for my actual posts. 😕

thanks for your help!!!
