g_scratchpad

[SoniShaily]

Hey everyone,
I’m trying to use a value from g_scratchpad in a catalog client script, but it keeps coming back as undefined. I’ve set the scratchpad value in a Catalog Server Script on the same item.
Am I missing something?

@SoniShaily Are you accessing it in any script other than onLoad, if yes then it is only available in onLoad and not available in onChange or onSubmit.

@SoniShaily 

Use g_scratchpad only in onLoad Catalog Client Scripts

 Make sure your Catalog Server Script sets it properly

Don’t expect it in onChange or onSubmit without workarounds

@SoniShaily g_scratchpad is not supported in catalog item/ Record producer as we set the g_scratchpad variables in display Business rule. Catalog server script runs when the catalog item is submitted. If you need to fetch data from server, then use GlideAjax call in catalog client script .

Please mark as Correct Answer and Helpful, if applicable.

@SoniShaily 

g_scratchpad works only in display business rule and won't work on catalog side.

what's your business requirement?
