Use getProperty in URL (from Arguments) not working

[angel_jimenez]

Currently we have a module linking to our catalog home page, using URL (from arguments) type and the following argument code: catalog_home.do?sysparm_catalog=5a281eaa1b736740ba4eea0f6e4bcbb3

This is working fine, but I would like to replace the hardcoded sys_id in the URL and use getProperty function. With this purpose, I've first created a system property called default.catalog to store the catalog sys_id.

Then I've created a very simple script include:

Finally I've replaced module URL argument code: /catalog_home.do?sysparm_catalog=javascript:getDefaultCatalogID().getid()

But this is not working, as when I click on the module it takes me to following URL:

What I'm missing here? Any idea?

Thanks in advance!!

create classes script include . 

sample steps :

url :

sys_user_list.do?sysparm_query=user_name=javascript:getDupUsers()


classless script include. 

function getDupUsers() {
  var usernames = [];
  var grUser1 = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
  grUser1.addActiveQuery();
  grUser1.addNotNullQuery('user_name');
  grUser1.query();
  while (grUser1.next()) {
    var username = grUser1.user_name.toString();
    var grUser2 = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
    grUser2.addActiveQuery();
    grUser2.addNotNullQuery('user_name');
    grUser2.addQuery('user_name', '=', grUser1.user_name);
    grUser2.query();
    var len = grUser2.getRowCount();
    if (len > 1) {
      usernames.push(username);
    }
  }
  return usernames;
}

Note: same way you can design it for your requirement. hope sample code will help you.

Hi Harshvardhan,

I've used your sample code to compose mine as follows:

function getDefaultCatalogID() {
var sys_id = gs.getProperty('default.catalog');
return sys_id;
}

Then call it from the URL Module argument field like this:

/catalog_home.do?sysparm_catalog=javascript:getDefaultCatalogID()

But it didn't work 😞
