This is a requirement for my Catalog items in general.
If a checkbox variable type is not checked, it should be hidden in the RITM and Task.
I have created a Script Include to retrieve the RITM variable names and types. If type is 'checkbox' and value is 'false', the variable should be hidden.
I would appreciate some feedback as the scripts are not working as expected at the moment:
onLoad Catalog Client script
function onLoad() {
var ga = new GlideAjax('VariableTypeChecker'); // Call the Script Include
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getVariableTypes'); // Specify the method to call
ga.addParam('sys_id', ritmSysId); // Pass the RITM sys_id
alert(test);
ga.getXMLAnswer(function(response) {
var variableTypes = JSON.parse(response); // Parse the JSON response
alert(variableName, variableTypes)
// Iterate through variables
for (var variableName in variableTypes) {
if (variableTypes[variableName] === 'checkbox') { // Check if it's a checkbox
var value = g_form.getValue(variableName); // Get its value
if (value === 'false') { // If false, hide it
g_form.setVisible(variableName, false);
}
}
}
});
}
Script Include:
var VariableTypeChecker = Class.create();
VariableTypeChecker.prototype = {
initialize: function() {},
getVariableTypes: function(ritmSysId) {
var variableTypes = {};
// Query the requested item (RITM) record
var ritm = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item'); // Table for requested items
if (ritm.get(ritmSysId)) {
// Get all variables for the RITM
var variables = ritm.variables.getElements();
// Iterate through the variables and get their types
for (var i = 0; i < variables.length; i++) {
var question = variables[i].getQuestion(); // Access variable metadata
if (question) {
var name = question.getName(); // Variable technical name
var type = question.getType(); // Variable type (e.g., 'checkbox', 'string', etc.)
variableTypes[name] = type; // Store in the result object
}
}
}
return variableTypes; // Return an object containing variable names and their types
},
type: 'VariableTypeChecker' // Script Include name
};
Thank you
