Create a new record with a UI action

[__17]

I would like to create a UI action like the one below and implement a spec that sets the value by default when creating a new record.

However, when I execute a UI action on the record list screen, a "No records selected" popup is output.

Can you tell me the UI action to create a new record?

var new_rec = new GlideRecord("table_name");

new_rec.initialize();

new_rec.setValue("field_name1","value1");
new_rec.setValue("field_name2","value2");
new_rec.setValue("field_name3","value3");

action.setRedirectURL(new_rec);

Hi there,

Where is the .insert()?

Or do you want a new record to open on your screen, which is not saved yet, though with some fields populated already?

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,

var new_rec = new GlideRecord("table_name");

new_rec.initialize();

new_rec.setValue("field_name1","value1");
new_rec.setValue("field_name2","value2");
new_rec.setValue("field_name3","value3");

action.openGlideRecord(new_rec);

The above code solved it!

I didn't use it because I thought that ".insert ()" would save the record.
I was also considering closing the record without saving it.

Thank you.

Don't see any changes to the original code? So what the solution now? Or was my answer sufficient and correct?

Hi,

without having insert() the record won't be inserted

Don't you wish to insert the record and then open the record?
