How to return value to getXML function in client script

Tomi Corigliano · ‎05-09-2023

Hello,

I'm calling a script include in my catalog client script through GlideAjax, which works fine. Nevertheless, I can't find a way to return the value to the main function.

How is this possible? Preferably with an example.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

@Tomi Corigliano

you can show field message of type error so it won't allow submitting the form.

So unless and until the user selects correct date they cannot submit it

When the validation fails show field message of type error; if validation is fine clear the message

How about moving the logic you want to run after the GlideAjax in your main function to the callback function？

Please mark my answer as correct and helpful based on Impact.

@Tomi Corigliano You can use getXMLWait() if you do not wish to use a callback function, please be informed that getXMLWait() will only work on the platform view and will not work on the Service Portal.

Thank you for your reply. I need it in the Service Portal. So that's unfortunately not an option.
