What is gsftSubmit()'s param??

[senon]

Hello, expert.
I am currently investigating the function gsftSubmit().
I found out that this function is used in UI actions and it is a function that executes the UI action server side again within the UI action.

However, I don't understand why this function has the 1st parameter "null" and the 2nd parameter g_form.getFormElement().

Please let me know the meaning of these parameters.

Best regards.

Is there any prayer that ServiceNow will ever actually document all of their functions?

It is really time consuming to dig into these functions that they use in their own code to figure out what their code is doing.

I am working through their Scripting a UI Action training and they use functions that they do not tell you what they do and there is no documentation for. gsftSubmit is just 1 example.

My appologies, I know I am preaching to the choir.

Hav a Great day!

null (First Parameter):

This parameter represents the parent HTML element to which the notification will be appended. When set to null, it typically means that the notification will be appended to the global notification container, which is often located at the top of the page.

g_form.getFormElement() (Second Parameter):

g_form.getFormElement() is the out-of-the-box method. It is used to retrieve the DOM (Document Object Model) element of the current form. In the context of a UI action, this is likely being used to specify where the notification should be attached within the form.

UI Action Name (Third Parameter):

The third parameter is the name of the UI action itself. This is used as an identifier for the UI action and is often included in the message or title of the notification to provide context about which action triggered the notification.
