To set a field value in UI pages

[Poorva Bhawsar]

Hi Community,

i have a ui page, using that i want to map the fields which i have on the dialog box and fields which i have in the time worked table. I am able to map all except the time worked field.

Here is my code.

function closeWindow() {

    GlideDialogWindow.get().destroy();

}

function action_changed() {

    var action = gel('actions').value;

    if (action == "incall" || action == "outcall") {

        document.getElementById("element.sys_choice.label").style["display"] = "inherit";

    } else {

        document.getElementById("element.sys_choice.label").style["display"] = "none";

        document.getElementById("element.sys_choice.label").value = "";

    }

}

function update_ticket() {

    var usr = g_user.userID;

    var action = gel('actions').value;

    var response = gel('call_response').value;

    var days = gel('ni.task_time_worked.time_workeddur_day').value;

    var hours = gel('ni.task_time_worked.time_workeddur_hour').value;

    var minutes = gel('ni.task_time_worked.time_workeddur_min').value;

    var seconds = gel('ni.task_time_worked.time_workeddur_sec').value;

    var comments = gel('task_time_worked.comments').value;

    var time_worked = calculateTimeWorked(days, hours, minutes, seconds);

    var tck = g_form.getUniqueValue();

    var gr = new GlideRecord('task_time_worked');

    gr.initialize();

    gr.setValue('user', usr);

    gr.setValue('action', action);

    gr.setValue('u_call_response', response);

    gr.setValue('time_worked', time_worked);

    gr.setValue('comments', comments);

    gr.setValue('task', tck);

    gr.insert();

    GlideDialogWindow.get().destroy();

}

function calculateTimeWorked(days, hours, minutes, seconds) {

    // Convert everything to seconds and sum up

    var totalSeconds = parseInt(days) * 86400 + parseInt(hours) * 3600 + parseInt(minutes) * 60 + parseInt(seconds);

    var ajax = new GlideAjax('OptusUtils');

    ajax.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getTimeWorked');

    ajax.addParam('sysparm_addtime', totalSeconds);

    ajax.getXML(doSomething);

    //ajax.getXMLAnswer(function(doSomething) {

   }

 function doSomething(response) {

    var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

    alert(answer);

    time_worked = answer;

    //g_form.setValue('time_worked', answer);

    //totalSeconds=answer;

}

Where exactly i need to set the field value. I am getting the correct output in the alert but its not setting value in the time worked field on time worked table.

Thanks,

Poorva

Hi @Poorva Bhawsar ,

If you want to set it to some default value, map the sys id as follows:

ui_reference name="ref" table="sys_user" value="<give_sys_id_of_default_value_here>"/>

I dont want to set it to a default value. Whatever i will enter in the popup for time worked field, it should create a record in a table and auto fill time worked field with the value i entered on the popup.

Hi @Poorva Bhawsar ,

Can you share the output of alert?

Did you pull time_worked field on to the form?

Can you try executing g_form.setValue('time_worked','100000000'); in the developer tools or may be client script?

Thanks,

Naveen

Here is the screenshot of the alert. 

I am getting the date, hours, minutes and seconds what i have entered on the popup.

g_form.setValue('time_worked','100000000'); i tried this but its not working.
