The information you provided is not enough. What does the entire use case look like? What are you trying to achieve? Why do you have to use a UI action? What exactly is it supposed to do? And where exactly do you expect the user to write comments?

Hello @shabbir9 ,

The requirement is that the comments are to be filled before clicking the UI Action,
So, just make the comments Mandatory and add an Info message when the UI Action is clicked.


If you really require the popup, let me know. 
I have done similarly on the Incident form.

If this information helps you, kindly mark it as Helpful or correct.

Hi @shabbir9 ,
UI Action:

UI Pages.
Navigate to System UI > UI Pages. Create New.
name: add_comments

HTML : 

<?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="jvar_incident_id" expression="RP.getWindowProperties().get('incident_id')" />
	
	<g:ui_form>
		<p>
			<label for="reason"> Additional comments: 
			</label>
			 <g:ui_multiline_input_field name="reason" mandatory="true" style="width: 100%" />
			<div id="error_reason" style="background-color:pink;text-color:red;border:1px red;visibility:hidden">Please add the additional comments</div>
		</p>
		
		<input type="hidden" name="incident" id="incident" value="${jvar_incident_id}" />
		<p>
			<g:dialog_buttons_ok_cancel ok="return validateForm();" />
		</p>
		
	</g:ui_form>
</j:jelly>

Client script:

function validateForm(){
	var theReason = gel("reason").value;
	if(theReason.trim() == ""){
		gel("error_reason").style.visibility = "visible";
		return false;
	}
	else
	{
		return true;
	}
	
}

Processing script:

var urlOnStack = GlideSession.get().getStack().bottom();
gs.log(reason, "Reject Solution");
if (!reason.nil() && incident != '') {
	
	var grIncident = new GlideRecord('incident');
	grIncident.get(incident);
	grIncident.state = IncidentState.IN_PROGRESS;
	grIncident.setDisplayValue("comments", reason);//comments = reason;
	grIncident.update();
	
}
else {
	gs.addErrorMessage('Please fill in the additional comments.');
}

response.sendRedirect(urlOnStack);

First do it on the Incident form itself, even though your requirement is on sc_req_item, so that you will understand the output. Later you configure the requirement.
