[Enrico Domingo]

function commentsDialog() {
    gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'comments_dialog');
}

var gr = new GlideRecord("incident");
gr.addQuery('number', current.number);
gr.addQuery("element", "comments");
gr.query();

if (gr.next()) {
    var notes = gr.comments.getJournalEntry(-1);
    //gets all journal entries as a string where each entry is delimited by '\n\n'
    var na = notes.split("\n\n");

    //stores each entry into an array of strings
    for (var i = 0; i < na.length; i++) {
        var data = na[i];
        gs.addInfoMessage(data);
       gr.comments = "testing " + i;
        gr.update();
    }
}

action.setRedirectURL(gr);

How to replace or update all existing comments/work notes in an Incident.

Here we are able to get all comments but we want to update it by adding some text to it instead of adding a new one.

like this comments/work notes. we are seeing testing 0, testing 1, testing 2 and testing 3 comments.

we want to add to those comments like "testing 0 - {Add something text Here}"

thats the complete script in the UI Action. i don't know what script are you looking for.

Hi,

make your UI action as server side and use this code

Uncheck Client checkbox on UI action

Clear the Onclick field on UI action

var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_journal_field");
gr.addQuery('name', 'incident');
gr.addQuery("element", "comments");
gr.query();
while (gr.next()) {
	gr.value = "testing - " + gr.value;
	gr.update();
}
action.setRedirectURL(gr);
