Update selected with input from dialog window

[Miriam Berg]

Hi,

In short: I'm trying to update selected list items using a UI Action + UI Page, but the processing script doesn't run properly.

When standing in the list view and having one or more items selected, I want to open a popup that asks the user for a company when a UI Action is clicked. That company should then be added or removed depending on the UI Action (Add Company or Remove Company).

I have the popup showing but when clicking OK, the Processing Script is not being run properly. What am I missing? Shouldn't I have access to the variables from the HTML?

Tried using a <g:ui_form> because it said on the wiki that it should be able to use the processing script, but... the only thing it did was to redirect to a full-size version of the UI Page.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

UI Action "Add Company"

Script

function getCompany() {
   var gDialog = new GlideDialogWindow("dialog_get_company");
   gDialog.setTitle('Add Company');
   gDialog.setWidth("300");
   gDialog.render();
}

UI Page "dialog_get_company"

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:ui_form>
   <g:evaluate>
   var currentTable = RP.getWindowProperties().get('table_name') || '';
   var sysIdList = RP.getWindowProperties().get('sys_id_list') || '';
   </g:evaluate>
   <input type="hidden" name="current_table" value="$[currentTable]" />
   <input type="hidden" name="sys_id_list" value="$[sysIdList]" />
   <table width="100%">
   <tr>
   <td>
   <g:ui_reference name="company_name" table="core_company"/>
   </td>
   </tr>
   <tr id="dialog_buttons">
   <td>
   <br></br>
   <g:dialog_buttons_ok_cancel ok="return checkValue()" ok_id="ok_button" />
   </td>
   </tr>
   </table>
</g:ui_form>
</j:jelly>

Client Script:

function checkValue(){
   var company = gel("company_name");
   if(company.value == ""){
   return false;
   }
   GlideDialogWindow.get().destroy();
   return true;
}

Processing Script:

addCompany();
function addCompany() {
   var choice = new GlideRecord(current_table);
   if (sys_id_list) {
   var selectedRecords = sys_id_list.split(',');
   choice.addQuery('sys_id', selectedRecords);
   }
   choice.query();
   while (choice.next()) {
   gs.addInfoMessage(choice.value);
   add(choice);
   }
   refresh();
}
function refresh() {
   var urlOnStack = GlideSession.get().getStack().bottom();
   response.sendRedirect(urlOnStack);
}
function add(choice){
// var company = usr.u_org_company.toString();
   var list = choice.u_suppliers;
   //If the list is empty
   if (list == '') {
   list = company;
   }
   //Else - the list is not empty.
   //Does it include my company?
   else if(list.indexOf(company) < 0) {
   list = list + ',' + company;
   }
   choice.u_suppliers = list;
   choice.update();
   //action.setRedirectURL(current);
}

Miriam,

I've tried to use your solution here for another purpose. I was wondering if you could look at my post Create a metric from a dialog window asking for date/time and see if you could assist me as well.
