Hi Ankur

Thank you for your response

Since our catalog form contains numerous fields and is quite lengthy, we’ve observed that users are often missing or overlooking some of the pre-filled values while submitting the Record Producer (RP) form

To address this, We would like to implement a modal popup that will trigger before the final submission. This modal would display a set of key variables (10-12 fields) which users must review and confirm to ensure the data is accurate.

The goal is to introduce a re-verification step where users consciously validate these critical fields before submitting the form, reducing the chances of missed or incorrect inputs.

Could you help us with the best approach to implement this?
We’re open to suggestions if there’s a better or standard way to handle this in ServiceNow.

if you just want them to review and not asking them to fill, then you can use variable of type Custom

Then create a widget and add this widget to this Custom variable.

In that widget you can form HTML and show variable value

Syntax to access variable value in widget client controller is this

   function($scope) {
       var c = this;
       var variableValue = $scope.page.g_form.getValue('variable_name');
       // Use variableValue as needed
   }

If you need to add new widget to  Catalog form， you can create a variable which type is custom.
