if condition in UI page jelly script

[samadam]

I have two variables, one being set from syspam value and other from a query. I want to use them in a query based on if there is a value passed as parameter or if null use the value set in the g:evaluate.

This only works if syspam variable is populated. Using the test condition the value gets set but in the query it doesn't work. I tried to use "jvar_minc" insated of '${jvar_minc}' but this only works for one condition. How can I get this working. Is there a way to have if condition in g:evaluate?

<g:evaluate jelly="true">

  <j:set var="jvar_inc" value="${RP.getParameterValue('sysparm_inc')}" />

  </g:evaluate>

<g:evaluate jelly="true">

  var currentval = new GlideRecord('u_temp'); .addEncodedQuery('u_start_date&lt;=javascript:gs.daysAgoEnd(0)^u_end_date&gt;=javascript:gs.daysAgoStart(0)');

currntval.query();

currentval.next();

  var jvar_minc = currentval.q_val;

  </g:evaluate>

<j:if test="${!empty(jvar_inc)}">

  <j:set var="jvar_minc" value="${jvar_inc}" />

  </j:if>

  <g:evaluate jelly="true">

  var inc = new GlideRecord('u_temp_table');

  inc.addQuery('u_inc_name', '${jvar_minc}');

  inc.addQuery('u_id', '${jvar_id}');

  inc.query();

  </g:evaluate>

when i print the values they come up right, its in the query it doesn't do the right evaluation.

Yes, I am able to get the value from getPreferences if all I want to do is store it in a variable and return that variable.  The issue I'm having is that i want to create an array, use the variable to build the array and then return the array.  It's that setting inside of a bigger setting that is causing the issues.

Can you share the code where you are getting the value and trying to build the array? It's a bit tough to advise without context. Note, if the script is 100s of lines long, you can just post the important bits.

I'm trying to pull in a value from my UI Action - stored via this code
dialog.setPreference('ei_sys_id', sys_id);

Into my UI Page to use to query the table and build the array I need to print. I want to take the value from the UI action and store it in a variable that would be referenced where <insertvariablehere> is in the snippet below.

<g:evaluate var="jvar_forecasts" object="true" jelly="true">
var arrForecasts = [];
var grForecasts = new GlideRecord("u_ehs_forecasts");
grForecasts.addEncodedQuery('u_forecast_parent=' + <insertvariablehere>)};
grForecasts.query();

I can get the value into a variable using code like yours, but then if I try to use that variable in the bit of code above (which would be a separate g:evaluate) then it tells me it's undefined.  I guess you can't pull from one g:evaluate to another? But then I tried setting it using a j:set and that wasn't working either.  I have literally tried dozens of ways to try to essentially use 2 variables in the same set of code where I just need to return that array, but can't figure out the right way to do it.

Do you get any log output when you save the variable and output it? Example:

<g:evaluate>
  var id = gs.getPreference('ei_sys_id');
  gs.print('id=' + id);
</g:evaluate>

[Shannon Burns]

Using that code, I get 'null' as the value

Using this code I had tried before

<g:evaluate var="jvar_sys_id"
expression="RP.getWindowProperties().get('ei_sys_id')" />

I can print the value later outside the g:evaluate

But using that code I don't know how to print from within it, or access the value from another g:evaluate.
