Getting selected values in a list collector catalog variable

[rhofing]

One of the variables in my catalog item is a list collector. This list collector permits users to select records (move from left to right) to be de-activated.   Upon submit (I will use a On Submit client script), I want to loop through the selected value(s) in the list (right-side of the list); then I will find the appropriate record in the table and set Active = false.   I know how to update the record (GlideRecord), and how to code a loop, but I am not certain how I get the Selected values into an arry.   Thanks!

Hey Ric,

Get DisplayValue of selected items in List Collector

Hi Ric,

The values of the list variable are stored in a comma separated list of sys_ids. To get that in to an array, you only need to split(). Something like this

var myList = g_form.getValue('my_variable');

var myArray = myList.split(',');

for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) {

        var gr = new GlideRecord('my_table');

        if (gr.get(myArray[i])) {

                  // Do what you want to the retrieved record

        }

}

Hope that helps.

I tried both methods and both worked perfectly!   Thank you very much.

Thanks Ric for the update.

Would you mind marking answer as correct and close the loop.
