Why is gr.update() duplicating the current record and not updating?

[Ulrich Matthew]

When i click on ok, the record I'm working with is being duplicated and not updated

function onCancel() {
    GlideDialogWindow.get().destroy();
    return false;
}

function onSubmit() {
    var reason = document.getElementById('termination_reason').value;
    var date = document.getElementById('termination_date').value;
    var sysId = g_form.getUniqueValue();
    /*g_form.setValue('u_reason', reason);
	g_form.setValue('u_termination', date);

	g_form.save();
*/

    var employees = new GlideRecord('u_itechag_employees');
    employees.addQuery('sys_id', sysId);
    employees.query();


    if (employees.next()) {
        employees.u_reason = reason;
        employees.u_termination = date;
        employees.update();
    }


    location.reload();

    return true;
}

i wrote that gs.info inside the if and is not showing 

[Mohith Devatte · Accepted solution]

var terminate_employee = Class.create();
terminate_employee.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
Terminate:function()
{ 
 var employees = new GlideRecord('u_itechag_employees');
    employees.addQuery('sys_id', this.getParameter('sysparm_id'));
    employees.query();


    if (employees.next()) {
        employees.u_reason = this.getParameter('sysparm_reason');
        employees.u_termination = this.getParameter('sysparm_date');
        employees.update();
    }
},
    type: 'terminate_employee'
});

[Mohith Devatte]

do one thing 

replace location.reload() in your client script with this line 

GlideDialogWindow.get().destroy();

Please mark this answer helpful if it helped you

thanks it worked , but there's a small detail hahahaha sorry for asking this much , the UI action that is being called in the client script , is not being executed unless I deactivate the UI page 

like this 

function onSubmit() {
	var conf;
	if (g_form.getActionName() == 'approve_new_employee') {
		conf = confirm('Please confirm account New Employee Approval');
		return conf; // Updates the database if confirmed, aborts if canceled
	} else if (g_form.getActionName() == 'terminate_employee') {
		var c = this;

		/**/
		if (window === null) {

			var dialog = new GlideDialogWindow('show_termination_reason');
			dialog.setTitle('Resolve');
			dialog.render();
			return false;


		} else {
			spModal.open({
				widget: 'terminate_employees',
				buttons: 'false'
			}

						).then(function(reason) {
				c.reason = reason;
			});
		}


		return false;
	} else
		return true;

}

is weird cause it terminates the employee there 

if(gs.hasRole('u_itechag.base_hr_manager_lead')) {

	//If HR Manager, terminate employee with no approval
	current.u_work_status = 'Terminated';	
} else {
	current.u_work_status = 'Terminating';
}
current.update();
action.setRedirectURL(current);
