UI Action (client side) redirect

xiaix — Wed, 22 Aug 2018 13:56:41 GMT

I have to call a script include to update the record to bypass ACL write rules preventing user, hence the reason gsftSubmit() will not work.

Trying to use "action.setRedirectURL(current)" while still on the client side, but I believe this is only server side functionality.

So, can I reload the form via client due to the UI Action not able to hit server side?

Hi David,

In client side if you want to redirect/open then use following: give your table name highlighted in bold

var sysId = g_form.getUniqueValue();

var url = '/<tableName>.do?sys_id=' + sysId;

window.open('url');

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also mark Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks
Ankur

Hi,

the alert after window.open() won't show so remove that;

Also is the table name correct to which you are redirecting? u_incidentfieldaudit.do?

Hi Bhagyashri,

small mistake in your script; it should be window.open(url)

url should not have quotes around it since it is a variable

Hi Bhagyashri,

Also share the script you are referring
