How to get only name of field under form tab in client side

[ramancoder]

Hi Everyone.

Anyone can help me to get  only name of field under form tab in client side script.

For example resolution information  tab , I need the name of column only under resolution information tab on load of form to make the filed non mandatory to achieve similar use case.

Hi @ramancoder ,

The fields in a section are stored in the Section Elements [sys_ui_element] table.

Section: Resolution Information (Default View)
URL: https://<instance_name>/sys_ui_element_list.do?sysparm_query=sys_ui_section%3D992099dd0a0006413c77c9...

Just query to that table and you can have all the fields name under a specific section.

1. Define a function in an AJAX Script Include.

Sample below.

    getResolutionFields: function() {
        var sectionID = gs.getProperty('cl.incident.section.resolution_information'); //992099dd0a0006413c77c9a4b7d410c0
        var arrElement = [];
        var grElement = new GlideRecord('sys_ui_element');
        grElement.addQuery('sys_ui_section', sectionID);
        grElement.addNullQuery('type');
        grElement.query();
        while (grElement.next()) {
            arrElement.push(grElement.getValue('element'));
        }
        return arrElement.join(',');
    },

2. Call the function in the Client Script and you will have all the fields in response.

Let me know if it works for you.
