Issue : Now How to add choices from Workspace client script using with for-loop

function onClick(g_form) {

    var fields = [{
        type: 'choice',
        name: 'invoice_type',
        label: getMessage('invoice type'),
        value: getMessage(' -- Select -- '),
        choices: [{
            displayValue: '',
            value: ''
        }],
        mandatory: true
    }, {
        type: 'string',
        label: getMessage('Invoicer'),
        value: g_form.getDisplayValue('consumer'),
        readonly: true,
    }];

    g_modal.showFields({
        title: "Product for Invoice",
        fields: fields,
        size: 'lg'
    }).then(function(fieldValues) {
        g_form.setValue('short_description', fieldValues.updatedFields[1].value);
        //<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->//	
        var ga = new GlideAjax('CDAInvoiceProcessor');
        ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getInvoiceTypes');
        ga.getXML(populateChoiceeField);

        function populateChoiceeField(response) {
            var msg = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer').toString();
            if (msg != '') {
                msg = msg.split(',');
                if (msg.length > 0) {
                    g_form.clearOptions(fieldValues.updatedFields[0].name);
                    g_form.addOption(fieldValues.updatedFields[0].name, '', '-- None --');
                    for (var i = 0; i < msg.length; i = i + 2) {
						fieldValues.updatedFields[0].value= msg[i];
						fieldValues.updatedFields[0].displayValue= msg[i+1];
                       
                    }
                }
            }
        }

i have applied your script in Onchange client script first to check what values it returning , It is Returning "Null"  , but not sure what was the error.

[Sironi]

declared obj{}, result{} in in global , updated script-include like this. 

if (choice.next()) {
obj.value = choice.name.toString();
obj.displayValue = choice.label.toString();
arr.push(obj);
}
}
gs.info("choice values in array" + arr);

result["choices"] = arr;
return JSON.stringify(result);

but same value repairing in choice field {"choices":[{"value":"u_crd","displayValue":"CRD"},{"value":"u_crd","displayValue":"CRD"}]}

it might be issue?

fields.push({
type: 'choice',
name: 'invoice_type',
label: getMessage('invoice type'),
value: (answer.choices && answer.choices.length > 0) ? answer.choices[0].value : '',
choices: answer.choices,
mandatory: true
});

Okay populating the choice dynamically is working

now thing to check why it's repeating.

declare the obj within the for loop

var arr = [];
var DWN = new GlideRecord("u_customer");
DWN.addQuery("u_active", true);
DWN.addQuery("u_name", "Customer Specific Type");
DWN.addQuery('u_customer',' b70c0f830f37330013a831ef68767e33');
DWN.query();
if (DWN.next()) {
    PARMS = DWN.u_parms.split(',');
    gs.info("PARMS " + PARMS.length + "--" + PARMS);
    for (var i = 0; i < PARMS.length; i++) {
        var obj = {};
        var choice = new GlideRecord('sys_choice');
        choice.addQuery('name', 'incident');
        choice.addQuery('language', 'en');
        choice.addQuery('element', 'contact_type');
        choice.addQuery('inactive', false);
        choice.addQuery('value', PARMS[i]);
        choice.query();
        if (choice.next()) {
            obj["value"] = choice.value.toString();
            obj["displayValue"] = choice.label.toString();
            arr.push(obj);
        }
    }
}

var result = {};
result["choices"] = arr;

return JSON.stringify(result);
},

Hi,

try to remove that json key

just keep this and check

fields.push({
type: 'choice',
name: 'invoice_type',
label: getMessage('invoice type'),
choices: answer.choices,
mandatory: true
});

Regards
Ankur

[Sironi]

after adding obj{} inside For-look now two values getting populated 

fields.push({
type: 'choice',
name: 'invoice_type',
label: getMessage('invoice type'),
choices: answer.choices,
mandatory: true
});

I request you kindly update your client script and script-include with your latest changes in thread , i will mark it. 

Can't we show "-- None --" ? and user must select value
