[Pooja Sonone]

• • check whether the property exists
  • Prints the current Value to some log if the property exists( using log() methods in script 
  • Update the value of the target property with a given Value
• Try to change the value of "glide.ui.session_timeout"
• Research some properties which users tend to hope to change

Hi @Pooja Sonone ,

Ideally we do it manually :

Type sys_properties.list in the Navigation Filter

Search for existing 'System Property' by opening up the filter and then set the filter as 'Name' contains 'Session'

System Property = glide.ui.session_timeout

Under the 'Value' field type the required value in minutes. (for example, 60 - meaning 1 hour or 120 - meaning 2 hours)

If you want to run this in background-scripts:

gs.setProperty('glide.ui.session_timeout','120');

This is working in my instance , see below for the output:

If you want to use a Script action then use this approach , just use your property name and value:
