g_scratchpad not working as expected

[Sarabjeet1]

Hi,

I have a simple requirement to show field message if user is SLT true. I have used Display BR to get the value from user table and called that in my client script. g_scratchpad is passing undefined value to CS (checked with alert). Not sure if i am making any syntax mistake or something else. Please find below both and let me know what i am doing wrong.

@Sarabjeet1 

share the client script, it should work fine ideally, why don't you use parseBool

use below line in display BR

g_scratchpad.vipslt = parseBool(gr.getValue("u_vip_slt'));

and in onload client script use

if(g_scratchpad.vipslt == "true")

g_form.showFieldMsg("requested_for", "your message", "info");

This should work, here is what I tried, you can compare and correct. Your client script should be onload and not onchange

Also in your BR you are using gs.getUserID(), which is not right, you should use current.requested_for instead as you are fetching the flag for requested for and not the logged in user.

Hi @Anurag8 and @Aman Kumar S 

I am still stuck with the same issue. i tried everything you both suggested but still no luck.

BR

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

    gr.get(gs.getUserID());

    //g_scratchpad.vipslt = parseBool(gr.getValue("u_vip_slt"));   [Tried with this as well]

    g_scratchpad.vipslt = gr.u_vip_slt;

    gs.log('sarab' + g_scratchpad.vipslt);

CS

function onLoad() {

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

alert('its here');

    if (g_scratchpad.vipslt == true) {

        // alert('best' + a);

        g_form.showFieldMsg('requested_for', 'New user', 'info');

        alert('good');

        //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

    }

}

On your display BR you are setting g_scratchpad.slt (on line 3) and then on the next line and also the client scrit yiou are trying to use g_scratchpad.vipslt 

You are using wrong Variable name. change line 3 to use g_scratchpad.vipslt

Hi @Sarabjeet1,

Your display BR and Client scripts should be on RITM table.
