How to Create Standard Change from SCTASK and that SCTASK number should be link to change Reuqest

suvarna sonar2 — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 12:35:21 GMT

I have created a UI Action on the sc_task table and added the below code for Creating a Standard Change:

var url = new StdChangeUtils().getURLForTask(current, 'rfc'); url += '&sc_task_sys_id=' + current.sys_id; action.setRedirectURL(url);

It is redirecting to standard change template for creating new change request but linkage of sctask is not happening on that change request parent field.

Question:
Is there a way to implement this functionality so that the originating SCTASK is linked to the Change Request created via the Standard Change template?

Hi @suvarna sonar2

There is no need to create a UI action. You can add the related list of changes, click New, and it will take you to the change description. There, you can select the same change as you want to standardize.

So, you want to use the SC change template to populate an SC task—that’s not possible. You can create it as mentioned. SC Task and SC Change are two different records.

create this onLoad client script and grab the sysId and set in parent field

Note: ensure parent field is present on the form view

function onLoad() { var gUrl = new GlideURL(); gUrl.setFromCurrent(); var taskSysId = gUrl.getParam("sc_task_sys_id"); g_form.setValue('parent', taskSysId); }

This parameter giving undefined value

var url = new StdChangeUtils().getURLForTask(current, 'rfc');
url += '&sc_task_sys_id=' + current.sys_id;
action.setRedirectURL(url);

@suvarna sonar2

it worked for me now

Update your UI action as this -> don't send task sysId, no need of this

var url = new StdChangeUtils().getURLForTask(current, 'rfc'); action.setRedirectURL(url);

client Script as this -> the task sysId is already present in URL, use regex and grab that and set

Output:

Hi Ankur,

It is not working for all users, and even some administrators are experiencing the same issue. Could there be a reason for this?
