Autopopulate field in a catalog using Client Scripts

[EGUZMANHERRERA]

Hi everyone, I want to use Clients Scripts to autopopulate the "Requested By: " field with the name of the user who is making the request in the catalog, The field is set as Read Only because I want the Client Script to autopopulate without user intervention. Can anyone please help me, I'm new using ServiceNow so my knowledge is very limited. 

Also, the user must be active

@EGUZMANHERRERA Here is the onLoad client script you need to create on your Catalog Item.

Here is the script.

function onLoad() {
    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below    
	g_form.setValue('requested_by',g_user.userID);

}

Hope this helps.

Here Replace name of Catalog item with your Catalog item name.

That should be easy, we did that.

In the Default Value tab.

Add this Javascript code.

 

 You can also add a check to validate if user is active, I'm on my phone but will get more examples when I'm on the computer.

EDIT: actually it should work exactly like you want.

In the type specification tab, you add the filter to retrieve only active users.

And in the default value tab, the code to automatically populate the logged in user.

If my answer is correct, don't forget to mark it as solved/helpful. 😊
