Hi Chuck,

Have you completed the documentation about GlideURL? If yes then please share the link.

The API is documented on the Developer portal.

Hi Chuck,

I used the GlideURL() to parse the sysparm_special_instructions parameter which was passed from a Call to a new Catalog item form's URL;

The full string which is returned from the parameter by the GlideURL() is : NEW_CALL_REF%3A24e1789adbc1e700b82ea5305b96192f+

What would be the best (and failure proof) practice to get a sys_id substring from the whole string, and in general, can we be sure that the pattern (i.e. NEW_CALL_REF%3A...sysid...+) will stay the same, and it is safe to use the pattern for all future releases?

Thanks in advance for your reply

Hello,

Did you manage to figure this out as I'm looking for something similar?

Kind Regards
