Reference Qualifier based on Form View

Thenmozhi · ‎04-08-2021

Hi,

We have a requirement to apply reference qualifier for a reference field based on for form view. We have 2 views for location table say A & B. The reference qualifier specified on the Dictionary entry should be applicable only for view A and not on B.

Tried using 'gs.action.getGlideURI().getMap().get('sysparm_view')' to check the view. But this is always returning sys_ref_list which is the view of reference popup list.

Is there a way to get the view name of base form and apply reference qualifier accordingly.

Regards,

Thenmozhi

Hi,

whenever you open reference field the URL always include the form view from where it got opened in this parameter -> sysparm_form_view

Below is the URL I got when I clicked the Assignment group field being on CHG Default view

https://instanceName.service-now.com/sys_user_group_list.do?sysparm_target=change_request.assignment_group&sysparm_target_value=&sysparm_reference_value=&sysparm_nameofstack=reflist&sysparm_clear_stack=true&sysparm_element=assignment_group&sysparm_reference=sys_user_group&sysparm_view=sys_ref_list&sysparm_form_view=default&sysparm_additional_qual=&sysparm_domain_restore=false

When I changed to emergency view the URL included that as well

https://instanceName.service-now.com/sys_user_group_list.do?sysparm_target=change_request.assignment_group&sysparm_target_value=&sysparm_reference_value=&sysparm_nameofstack=reflist&sysparm_clear_stack=true&sysparm_element=assignment_group&sysparm_reference=sys_user_group&sysparm_view=sys_ref_list&sysparm_form_view=emergencyChange&sysparm_additional_qual=&sysparm_domain_restore=false

I agree the parameter does not exist. sysparm_view=sys_ref_list does, but sysparm_form_view does not.
