Hi community,
I'm building a feature where:
1. User selects records from a related list using checkboxes
2. Clicks a UI Action button that opens a GlideModal (UI Page)
3. Inside the modal, user selects a template option
4. Clicks "Export" to generate a PDF
The problem: I need to call server-side logic (a Script Include) when the user clicks Export inside the modal. I've tried:
- GlideAjax inside the modal → returns null (seems blocked in iframe context)
- Client Script field of UI Page → function not loaded inside GlideModal
- Scripted REST API via fetch → 401 Unauthorized even with authentication disabled on the resource
- window.opener / window.parent to redirect → opener is null inside the modal
My setup:
- UI Action on rm_story table (Client: true, List banner button)
- Onclick opens GlideModal with setPreference('sysparm_selected_ids', ids)
- UI Page with HTML + Client Script
- Script Include with Client callable: true
Question: What is the correct way to execute server-side code (Script Include or similar) when a button is clicked inside a GlideModal UI Page?
Any working example would be greatly appreciated!
