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");

For example I really quickly tested with below. Works instantly. The Client Scripts alerts a 0 (sysid found) or a -1 (no match).

System Property:

Display Business Rule:

onChange Client Script (for testing on Incident watch_list):

I have written business rule and client script on two different tables....is it causing any issue? and please check my above screenshots... @Mark Roethof

Different tables? Why is that? Sure that won't work. Any reason for doing so?

Hi,

so you can do this in server side by sending the type value via GlideAjax either from client script of ui policy script

client side

var grType = g_form.getValue('type');

// Ajax here and send the grTypt

// server side inside GlideAjax function

var grType = this.getParameter('sysparm_grType');

var value = gs.getProperty('property_name');

if(grType.indexOf(value) > -1){

// found

}

Regards
