g_scratchpad underined error

[Dwain Bryden]

Hi Guys,

I have a display business rule that I am calling from a client script. When calling using g_scratchpad I am getting a "undefined" error when trying to retrieve the value of the field.

I know i am missing something really small please see below:

Display Business Rule:

Onload Client Script:

The tables have to be the same for the display BR and the record. Is the table for the BR on incident?

Also if that doesn't work, I would swap out:

user.get from BR and just do

user.addQuery('user_name', gs.getUserID());
user.query();

Or try

var user = gs.getUserID();
g_sctrachpad.source = user.getValue('source)';

ORRRRR

In your first screenshot the ; is a space away too far after the source getValue, could move it back one.

And in your client script you're missing your brackets after if {

then closing before } else then again reopening {

and a final close }

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!

Hi Allen, 

Yes both are on the Incident Table.

Great, see my other comments in that same post. 🙂

Just wanna update this thread so that other users should not get confused. 

Q: Or try

var user = gs.getUserID();
g_sctrachpad.source = user.getValue('source)'; 

A: gs.getUserID(); will output a string, not the Glide Object. So it wont work. 

Q: In your first screenshot the ; is a space away too far after the source getValue, could move it back one.

A: it doesnt matter for the compiler. 

Q:And in your client script you're missing your brackets after if {

then closing before } else then again reopening {

and a final close }

A: It doent matter for the compiler, if you have multiple lines under your loop (if/else/for/while etc etc) then you must wrap them in braces. Or else wrapping them in braces is optional.
