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?

g_form.getSysId();  // in London

What happens when you call g_form.getUniqueValue()?

That seems to be the most reliable way to get the sys_id of your catalog item and works in both the UI and in ServicePortal. 

Are you accessing the item directly, or as part of an order guide?

I get the same thing as getSysId();

Kinda new to SN so I don't know what you mean by Order Guide -- In my use case, I just needed the sysid for use in a stand alone service catalog item.

g_form.getUniqueValue(); still works perfectly fine.
