So I've got it to return the variables, but it's still only pulling ones thats are actually marked as mandatory vs ones changed to mandatory via UI policy.

I put it in an onChange script instead, but even if I run it after the page loads it doesn't pull the ones affected by the UI policy. Any suggestions? The code is running fine, but I think I just need to see if there is a way to check if a UI policy is affecting the variables. Below is my code so far:

Client Script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {

   if (isLoading || newValue == 3) {

   var ga = new GlideAjax('mandatoryVariables');

   ga.addParam('sysparm_name','MandatoryVariables');

   ga.addParam('sysparm_value', g_form.getValue('request_item')); //send RITM number

   ga.getXML(ajaxResponse);

   }

}



function ajaxResponse(serverResponse) {

   var result = serverResponse.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("result");

   var message = result[0].getAttribute("message");

   if(message){

   alert(message);}


   var output = "";

   var variables = serverResponse.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("variable");

   for (i=0; i < variables.length ; i++){

   //g_form.setMandatory(variables[i],false);

   var name = variables[i].getAttribute("name");

   output += name + "\n" ;

   }

   alert(output);

}

Script include:

var mandatoryVariables = Class.create();

mandatoryVariables.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

   MandatoryVariables: function(){

   var result = this.newItem("result");

   result.setAttribute("message", "returning mandatory variables");

   var set = new GlideappVariablePoolQuestionSet();

   set.setRequestID(this.getParameter('sysparm_value'));

   set.load();

   var vs = set.getFlatQuestions();

   for (var i = 0; i < vs.size(); i++) {

   if(vs.get(i).mandatory==true){

   this._addVariable(vs.get(i).getName());

   }

   }

   },


   _addVariable : function(name) {

   var vars = this.newItem("variable");

   vars.setAttribute("name", name);

   },



   type: 'mandatoryVariables'

});
