How can we use indexOf for system property?

[Sathwik1]

Type field is a list collector....so it consists more than one value....so in that I need to check whether the below sysid is there or not...so I have used indexof method.....it is perfectly working fine....but hardcoding sys id  is not a best practice....so I want to replace with system property... is it possible to do without glideajax?

var grType = g_form.getValue('type');
var k = grType .toString().indexOf("d6263df300176cd7da6t54bf2632c");

Hi there,

Where are you using this? Platform UI, onLoad? Service Portal? onChange?

Do see g_form, so I suspect Client Side.

If for example Platform UI onLoad, you could use display business rule with scratchpad to get the contents of the system property. Then simply replace the hardcoded sys_id with the scratchpad in your client script.

HI @Mark Roethof 

I am using onchange client script...I think in client script gs is not worked right?

[Mark Roethof]

So is it Platform UI or Service Portal?

If Platform UI, you can use the approach I mentioned using Business Rule which creates a scratchpad, which you can use in your Client Script.

It's platform UI...

Display BR

  g_scratchpad.type= gs.getProperty("system_property_name");

client script

var k = grType .toString().indexOf("");
