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.

Thanks, I used Kilo Patron's solution, but yours also worked.

Hi @EGUZMANHERRERA ,

Configure onload catalog client script and use below code:

g_form.setValue('requested_for',g_user.userID);// replace variable with your variable name

Hi 

In default Value just write below code

javascript:gs.getUserID()

Hi @EGUZMANHERRERA  , Instead of Client Script , you can utilize Default Value and add this piece into the Variable default Value

javascript:gs.getUserID()
