Hi @vinnus

You can call the call the script include using GlideAjax in the catalog client script and in the script inlcude enable the GlideAjax enabled checkbox to true

Client script:

function onLoad() {

var ga = new GlideAjax('CheckUserGroup');
ga.getXMLAnswer(function(answer) {

if (answer === 'true') {

// Set Field 1 to the required choice value
g_form.setValue('field_one', 'specific_value');

// Make Field 1 read-only
g_form.setReadOnly('field_one', true);
}
});
}

Script include:

var CheckUserGroup = Class.create();
CheckUserGroup.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

isUserMember: function() {

var isMember = gs.getUser().isMemberOf('GROUP_SYS_ID');

return isMember;
},

type: 'CheckUserGroup'
});

Hi @vinnus ,

To achieve this requirement, we can use an onLoad Catalog Client Script along with a Client Callable Script Include.

1. Catalog Client Script

Use an onLoad Catalog Client Script on the Record Producer.

The script checks whether the logged-in user belongs to the required group. If the user is a member:

Set Field 1 to the required choice value in my case setting the value to "Choice 2".
Make Field 1 read-only.

2. Client Callable Script Include
Since the group membership needs to be validated against sys_user_grmember, use a Client Callable Script Include:

Result :
Populating the logged in user on the "Assigned to" field and updating the choice field

Please check below screenshots
