Hello experts, I can't figure what I'm doing wrong. I have a UI Action that calls a Script Include. When I log my Script Include, I'm seeing the correct value returning, but when I set up alerts in my UI Action, the alerts are returning null.
Script Include method:
closeTask: function() {
var tblName = this.getParameter("sysparm_table_name");
var sysId = this.getParameter("sysparm_sys_id");
var newNote = this.getParameter("sysparm_new_note");
this.closeHRTaskWithComment(tblName, sysId, newNote);
},
closeHRTaskWithComment: function(table, uniqueID, comment) {
var response = {};
var hrTaskGR = new GlideRecord(table);
if (hrTaskGR.get(uniqueID)) {
if (hrTaskGR.canWrite()) {
this._updateNotes(hrTaskGR, comment, false);
this._workEnd(hrTaskGR);
hrTaskGR.state = hr.STATE_CLOSE_COMPLETE;
response.success = hrTaskGR.update() ? true : false;
} else
response.error = 'No write access to record.';
} else
response.error = 'Record not found.';
gs.info('dlu ' + JSON.stringify(response))
return JSON.stringify(response);
},When I check the logs, I see this:
My Workspace UI Action looks like this:
function onClick(g_form) {
getMessages(['Work Notes', 'Provide a summary of the work performed'], function() {
var sysId = typeof rowSysId == 'undefined' || rowSysId == null ? g_form.getUniqueValue() : rowSysId;
//Setup the fields for modal
var fields = [{
type: 'textarea',
name: 'work_notes',
label: getMessage('Work Notes'),
mandatory: true
}];
//Create the modal
g_modal.showFields({
title: getMessage('Provide a summary of the work performed'),
fields: fields,
size: 'md'
}).then(function(fieldValues) {
//Get the new worknote
var newWorkNote = fieldValues.updatedFields[0].value;
//Call to GlideAjax to close the task
var gA = new GlideAjax("sn_hr_core.hr_CaseAjax");
gA.addParam("sysparm_name", "closeTask");
gA.addParam("sysparm_table_name", g_form.getTableName());
gA.addParam("sysparm_sys_id", g_form.getUniqueValue());
gA.addParam("sysparm_new_note", newWorkNote);
gA.getXML(saveForm);
function saveForm(response) {
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
answer = JSON.parse(answer);
alert('here? ' + answer)
g_form.save().then(function() {
//g_aw.closeRecord();
});
}
});
});
}
My alert returns null:
Any idea what I'm missing?
Hello @davilu
Add console.log(response.responseXML.documentElement); in the saveForm function
function saveForm(response) {
console.log(response.responseXML.documentElement);
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
alert(answer);
if (answer) { // Check if answer is not null or empty
try {
answer = JSON.parse(answer); // Parse if answer is valid JSON
alert(answer.success);
} catch (e) {
console.error("Parsing error: ", e);
}
} else {
console.warn("No answer attribute found or attribute is empty.");
}
}
Check in console window if the attribute name is 'answer' and the value it holds.
