How do you get the sys_id of a catalog item in a catalog client script?

[e_wilber]

I have a catalog client script on some of my forms where I need to know the sys_id of the catalog item itself (not the unique instance of the form record).

I have tried g_form.getParameter("sysparm_id") in an onload script and it's bringing back a sys_id that does NOT match the catalog item sys_id.

I have also used g_form.getUniqueValue() to no success. How do I get the catalog item sys_id back in my client script?

Hi Eric,

Did you go through link Get sysid of Record Producer in Catalog Client Script

Hi,

I'm not using a record producer. It's a catalog item form where I need to get the sys_id of the item itself.

Hello Eric,

g_form.getParameter("sysparm_id") perfectly works with onload client script

Let me know if you have any issues with you client script, happy to help.

Hi drasamsetti

I built my code using g_form.getParameter("sysparm_id") and it works with onload client script on desktop. however it does work on service portal side here you have my code:

any help on this it would be appreciated

function onLoad() {
var sysID = g_form.getParameter('sysparm_id');
alert("SYS ID: " + g_form.getParameter('sysparm_id'));
var catalogName = new GlideRecord('sc_cat_item');
//catalogName.addEncodedQuery(encQuery);
catalogName.addQuery('sys_id',sysID);
catalogName.query();
while(catalogName.next())
{
g_form.setValue('cmn_item_name',catalogName.name); 
}

}
