UI action that can associate current record to multiple records

[cnshum]

I have a custom table where I am trying to implement a UI action to open a list pop up that allows user to add records that are related to the current record. How do i implement something like this? (refer to the picture)

@cnshum 

you can see how the OOTB Add button is configured and do something similar for your table

Hi @cnshum ,

You can create a UI Action that opens a pop-up window to add related records, you need to use a client-side script with GlideModal or GlideDialogWindow. This approach involves building a UI Page or using a simple list view, then passing the necessary information (like the current record's sys_id) to the pop-up.

You can take help of chatGPT or something to write code for you.

Mark this as helpful and correct if this answers your question.

Thanks,

Hi @cnshum ,

You can utilize the GlideDialogWindow API...just create a UI Action on your custom table, set its Client property to True, and define an onclick function that initializes a GlideDialogWindow. Within this dialog, you can embed a UI Page that displays a list of records from the related table, enabling users to select and associate them. Ensure to pass necessary parameters, such as the current record's sys_id, to the UI Page for context. Upon selection, use GlideAjax to communicate the selected records back to the parent form and establish the associations.....
