How do you pass field values to a GlideModal window?

[e_wilber]

I'm using GlideModal to generate a popup window to load a form.  I need to preset one of the fields (parent) to the sys_id of the form that generated the popup.

I tried using setPreference('field', value) but that isn't setting the field and I don't see anything noted in the API documentation on how to do this.

var dialog = new GlideModal('incident'); 
dialog.setSize('500');
dialog.setPreference('parent',g_form.getUniqueValue());

Should be probably:
dialog.setPreference('sysparm_query', 'parent=' +g_form.getUniqueValue());
