UI Page script to show element display value

tsutherland · ‎06-30-2022

I am editing the OOB Project Summary dashboards and created a UI Page to show information about the project's status report.

However I can't seem to get rid of the HTML codes on the widget. The original field on the form is HTML. Here is my script:

<?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 jelly="true" object="true">
		var projectId = gs.getUser().getPreference('com.snc.project_management.home_page.project');
		var gr = new GlideRecord('pm_project');
		gr.get('sys_id', projectId);
		var summary = gr.getElement('u_project_status.executive_summary').getDisplayValue();
	</g:evaluate>
		<table class="wide">
		<tr>
			<td align="left">
				<body>${summary}</body>
			</td>
		</tr>
	</table>
</j:jelly>

The field "u_project_status" is a custom reference field on the project table which is populated with the latest status report. I did that so I could dot-walk to the information I needed. I get the data, but not without those HTML tags. Is there a better way to do this? Anyone know the syntax I could use to achieve this?

I found this community article answered by @Manish Vinayak and using the no_escape tag worked perfectly!

<?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 jelly="true" object="true">
		var projectId = gs.getUser().getPreference('com.snc.project_management.home_page.project');
		var gr = new GlideRecord('pm_project');
		gr.get('sys_id', projectId);
		var summary = gr.getElement('u_project_status.executive_summary').getDisplayValue();
	</g:evaluate>
			<td align="left">
				<g:no_escape>
					<p> ${summary} </p>
				</g:no_escape>
			</td>
</j:jelly>

Hi,

Can you embed your image (so save it on your side then embed (not attach)) so that we can see it easily?

Right now, the image is broken if you've just tried to paste it (the forums are acting wonky for the past few months regarding this).

Please mark reply as Helpful, if applicable. Thanks!
