Checklist formatter (scoped) not working in a Scoped Application

[Magda13]

Hi Community,

I want to add a checklist formatter to the form view of a custom table in my scoped application. The table does not extend "Task", so I have created a new UI formatter for my custom table (it's created in the application scope). Otherwise it looks the same as the OTB checklist formatter - it uses "inline_checklist_macro".

The checklist formatter is visible on the form, but it does not work - nothing happens when I click on "Create new" or the other options, also the content is corrupted, showing {{template.name}} instead of an actual template:

Any idea what I have done wrong?

Thank you in advance!

Sure. Looks the same as what you had.

Hi Cameron, 

I'm experiencing the same issue as you have described above. As @Magda13 suggested, I attempted to re-add the formatter to the form view, but had no luck.

Wondering if you've managed to solve this?

Thanks, 

James

I'm going through the same problem. Even after creating a new UI Macro and cloning the inline_checklist_macro, the same thing happens.

Unfortunately, I exhausted all my efforts trying to figure this out and could not get anything to work. What I was working on at the time, I had to find something else to fill the gap until I found an answer which I never did. I've learned that when I don't extend from Task and try to use functionality tied to the Global scope, I tend to run into oddities like this with various things, even if I create something that is the exact same thing it just doesn't function or has odd behavior in the custom application. I think in this scenario I even tried to create everything with its own stand alone records and code and not reuse/copy anything thinking that might help and still got the same result. I even saw different behavior if I am not mistaken. I tried creating in the scope of the app and in Global and couldn't get anywhere. The closest I got was where I left off in my screenshot. Everything else I tried didn't even get me that far.

Thanks for the update, Cameron. I'll lodge a support case with ServiceNow in the hope of coming to some kind of solution.
