I am trying to re-write some of the functionality from OOB cmdb relationships formatter, as far as I understand the OOB does not offers source code to the end users, thus, I am working on the custom replacement. So far I am stuck with adding the current sys_id of cmdb_ci record to the query. I have tried various options offered by community and googled extensively, but nothing works so far. Please check the code below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
<style>
<style>
table {
font-family: arial, sans-serif;
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 100%;
}
td, th {
border: 1px solid #dddddd;
text-align: left;
padding: 8px;
}
tr:nth-child(even) {
background-color: #dddddd;
}
</style>
</style>
<g:evaluate >
var gr = new GlideRecord("cmdb_rel_ci");
gr.addQuery("parent",current.sys_id);
gr.query();
var glo = {
name:"check"
};
</g:evaluate>
<table>
<tr>
<th>
Name
Yo? ${glo.check}
</th>
<th>
sys_id
</th>
</tr>
<j:while test="${gr.next()}">
<tr>
<td>
<a href="cmdb_ci.do?sys_id=${gr.child.sys_id}">${gr.child.name.getDisplayValue()}</a>
</td>
<td>
${gr.child.sys_id.getDisplayValue()}
</td>
</tr>
</j:while>
</table>
</j:jelly>
The issue I am having in this example is within the current.sys_id. I tried using g_form and screening the current.sys_id with ${} etc etc, but none of it gets the job done. Please advise.

You can use `g2:evaluate` (phase 2 Jelly processing) to access the `current` variable.
<g2:evaluate>
var gr = new GlideRecord("incident");
gr.addActiveQuery();
gr.query();
</g2:evaluate>
<h1>Row count: $[gr.getRowCount()]</h1>
