Need help with jelly script in UI Page

[Satanik1]

Hello Experts,

I need a small help on the UI page. Please follow the below code:

<script language="javascript">
function openPopup(){
			var gm = new GlideModal("open_content_helper",false,500);
			gm.setTitle("Suggest a Description");
			gm.setPreference("sysparm_shortDescription",g_form.getValue("short_description"));
			var answer = "";
			var ga = new GlideAjax('InvokeContentClarity');
			ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getClarity');
			var statement = g_form.getValue("description");
			ga.addParam('sysparm_desc', statement);
			ga.getXML(function myCallBack(response) {
				var ans = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");		
				gm.setPreference(sysparm_description",ans);
			});
			gm.setPreference("sysparm_sysid",g_form.getUniqueValue());
			gm.render();
		}
</script>

I want to setPreference on the GlideModal by fetching the return of the callback function (ans). But not able to set it. I think what I am writing is not correct.

Can anyone help me with the correct code please ?

Thanks

Satanik.

HI @Satanik1 ,
I trust you are doing great.
It looks like there is a syntax error in your code on this line:

gm.setPreference(sysparm_description",ans);

It seems that you forgot to include a quotation mark before sysparm_description. To fix this, you can modify the line to:

gm.setPreference("sysparm_description", ans);

This should set the sysparm_description preference on your GlideModal object with the value of ans returned by the callback function.

Hi @Satanik1 ,
Please try putting this code in 

<script language="javascript">
function openPopup(){
    var gm = new GlideModal("open_content_helper",false,500);
    gm.setTitle("Suggest a Description");
    gm.setPreference("sysparm_shortDescription",g_form.getValue("short_description"));
    var answer = "";
    var ga = new GlideAjax('InvokeContentClarity');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getClarity');
    var statement = g_form.getValue("description");
    ga.addParam('sysparm_desc', statement);
    ga.getXML(function myCallBack(response) {
        var ans = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");        
        gm.setPreference("sysparm_description",ans);
    });
    gm.setPreference("sysparm_sysid",g_form.getUniqueValue());
    gm.render();
}
</script>
