How do I apply a form template to a form on load?

[Anish Reghu]

Hi all,

I have a saved template called Story Template.

I want that template to be applied every time the story form loads. How do I script it?

I tried UI Policy script.

Description is empty AND

Acceptance Criteria is empty

g_form.applyTemplate('Story Template');

//Also tried the below methods.
// g_form.setActiveTemplate('Story Template');
// g_form.setTemplate('Story Template')

The last two were suggested by ChatGPT 😄

Regards,

Anish

I think g_form is not required just use the applyTemplate('<pass template sys_id>'),

Do one thing

1.) Use onLoad() client script call client callable script include using GlideAjax()

2.) In the script include use server-side methods to apply the template on the target record

Hi @Anish Reghu  Please try onLoad client script.

Please mark correct or helpful if it works.
