How can I populate current catalog item name inside a variable of same catalog item?

[shrija10]

Hi,

I have created a variable inside a particular catalog item ie. Software name. I want to auto populate the name of my current catalog item in "Software name" variable. Is there any way to populate name of current catalog item in Software name???

[HarshTimes]

use code   - javascript:current.cat_item in default value of name field

[Mihir Mohanta]

Write an on load client script:

function onLoad() {

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

    var item = g_form.getParameter("sysparm_id");

g_form.setValue('your variable name goes here',item);

}

In place of bold text write the variable name of 'Name' variable.

Thanks,

Mihir

Hi Shrija,

Since Name field is a reference you can assign the SYS_id of the current item by using the below script in an onload catalog client script

var sysId = gel('sysparm_id').value;

Then set this value to your name field.

g_form.setValue('fieldname',sysId);

Or

with g_form.getParameter('sysparm_id') in a client script you can get the sys_id of the catalog item

Or

var Sysid = g_form.getUniqueValue();

I know this is an old post but I run into the same issue today and resolved it successfully by creating a workflow run script and put current.cat_item.sys_name. I hope this will save some time.
