[KelvinY2025]

function onLoad() {
var myparam = g_form.getQueryParameter('myparam');

....
}

(g_env) [SCRIPT:EXEC] Error while running Client Script "Incident Demo01": TypeError: g_form.getQueryParameter is not a function

how to do ?

Hello @KelvinY2025 ,

In ServiceNow, g_form =ONLY form fields control. It does not read URL parameters. 

g_form.getQueryParameter() does not exist — that’s why you are getting:

TypeError: g_form.getQueryParameter is not a function

Correct method to access parameters,

function onLoad() {
var myparam = g_url.getParameter('myparam');
console.log(myparam);
}

If this helps you then mark it as helpful and accept as solution for future queries.

Regards,

Aditya
