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!

Hi Rakesh,

One suggestion - ensure the variable is a string with toString();

var group_member = current.variables.XLIT_queueMembersList.toString();

Also, where is group_sysid set? I don't see it here.

Hi Chuck,

Thanks a lot it worked.

I have not provided the entire code, group_sysid had the sys_id of new group which is getting created.

I'm glad it worked.

Hi Chuck,

hoping you can help with what I'm trying to do...I've got a list collector type field on a catalog item, and I have a GlideAjax set up to return the groups of a certain type that the user (as determined by a reference field on the form) is NOT in.  I want only these options to visible for selecting in the list collector type field.  Thanks in advance Chuck!

Here's my catalog client script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

if (newValue == '' || newValue == 'remove_groups') {
return;
}

g_form.setVisible('u_list_groups',true);
var user = g_form.getValue('u_req_for');
var ga = new GlideAjax('ajaxGetUsersGroups');
ga.addParam('sysparm_name','returnGroupsUserIsNotIn');
ga.addParam('sysparm_userid',user);
ga.getXML(setGroups);


//receive the array from the script include
function setGroups(response){
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
var arr = answer.split('||');

if (window === null)
//alert('arr is '+arr);//commented out, but I know it is correct by screen shot below
what can I put here so that the choices for the field 'u_list_groups' are only what is returned in "arr"?
}
}

And I know my array is coming back correct because of my alert message

Hi Chuck,

I have tried to get value of List collecter variable by using your script. and It is not work.

Do we have to try this in Onchange client script?
