How to set a value on a choice list in the URL with sysparm

[mco]

I tried to create a new record from a form with an UI action

I want to pass some parameters to the new form

it works very well with all field excepted for the choice field 'Category'

I tried to set the parameters with the name of the category choice and with the sys_id of the category choice but without success

url += '&sysparm_category=' + 'sys_id';

or 

url += '&sysparm_category=' + 'Incident';

This is the script that I use on my UI action

var url = "name_of_table.do?sys_id=-1";

 url += '&sysparm_category=' + 'Incident';
 url += '&sysparm_date=' + gt.getValue();
 url += '&sysparm_company=' + current.company;
 url += '&sysparm_description=' + current.short_description;

 action.setRedirectURL(url);

could you helping me with this issue ?

Thanks,

Michaël

What is the value of Incident?  You don't need the + in that line if it is not a variable, so you can say 

url += '&sysparm_category=Incident';

Check the value.  If it is incident with a lower case, or a number, it may not work.

Hello Mike,

Thaks for your reply , I've removed the + ( thanks for your advise) and I also check the case of the value of the incident selection and it was correct.

Unfortunatly the selectin is not made when the form is created.

Do you have an another idea ? do we have to create something else ?
