How to create a UI Script as .jsdbx and call it from UI Action

[Tschewski]

Hi experts,

I have the requirment to call a ui script (.jsdbx) from a ui action in problem process.

I created the ui action:

function onAssess() {
    if (g_form && g_form.mandatoryCheck()) {
        ScriptLoader.getScripts('TestUiScripts.jsdbx', function() {
            TestUiScripts.testAlert();
        });
    }
}

...and I created a UI script:

function TestUiScripts() {
    console.log('Script called.');

    TestUiScripts.testAlert = function() {

        alert('text');

    };
}

As you can see I expect a log statement and an alert popup on click of the ui action, but nothing happens.

It seems that the ui script is not called.

Maybe I made a mistake when creating the ui script. Is there a special way to create a ui script as .jsdbx?

Thanks for you help and knowledge,

Dominique

You can call the ui script from a client script or UI policy. For ui action you can create a script include or add your function to an existing script include and it will work.

You can check the OOTB ui action Create Problem which calls function (getProblemFromIncident) in IncidentUtils script include.

Hi,

I am working on something similar & face the same issue. I created a custom UI script and a UI action.

I tried to mimic the OOB problem button "Start Fix". But the UI action does not seems to invoke the UI script.

Out of curiosity , i even copied the "OnFix" function in "ProblemModalUIHelpers" UI script, renamed as "onFix1" in the same UI script file and then tried to invoke in my UI action. Never worked !. Latest version of the OOB UI script is not being executed even though i cleared the browser cache.

I tried to use a formatter to load the custom UI script but in spite it did not work 😞 .

Were you able to find a solution to this ?

Finally i got this working!!

I used the below script in the UI action to load the UI script.

sample code:

if (g_form && g_form.mandatoryCheck()) {
ScriptLoader.getScripts("myUIscript.jsdbx", function() {
myUIscript.myfunction();
});
}

Note:

The browser cache needs to be cleared each time the custom UI script is being updated for it to reflect properly on the form.
