How to create a new record using a ui action calling a ui page?

[josenava]

Hello everyone,

How can I create a new record using a ui action calling a ui page? this is what I have so far:

1. ui action

2.ui page ( thank you to https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_article&sys_id=bb0e039fdb9b1054b1b102d5ca961942)

What I'm having problems now is, how can users click on the UI action, see the pop up window (ui page), add the information requested, click on Submit and create a new record with the information from provided?

Thank you

So the issue is your child task has not attached to your ritm ? this is the issue you are facing ?

if yes then you have to pass the sc_req_item record sysid and then in glide record you will use to set it like below. 

var gr = new GlideRecord('sc_task');
gr.initialize();
gr.description= description;
gr.request_item= <ritm sysid which you have to get>;
gr.insert();

Reference:

To pass value from ui action to ui page html and then using the html field value in ui page client script.

The issue I'm facing is that the script I have in the UI action to call the ui page does not work because I have this:

this creates the the child task directly but does not call the ui page. My question is what do I need to add/modify in the script in the UI action to call the UI page?

Thank you

Ok let me give you Quick Demo here. 

This is what i have built. See if this help you or not. 

Note: if the intent is to create child task from ui page button click then use inside ui page client script . like i have done.
