Hi Ilavarasu,

can you please clarify the below points.

1) is your requirement is to create a change record from incident form.

2)post change creation, do you want to update a field in incident form.

3) Why you have to redirect to record producer.

Hi,

you will have to pass the incident sys_id from the UI action to the record producer form.

Store that in the hidden variable using onLoad client script

In the record producer script you can use this script

var inc = new GlideRecord('incident');

inc.get(producer.incVariable);

inc.caused_by = current.sys_id;

inc.update();

Hi,

you need to write onLoad catalog client script to get the url parameter value

Is the extra parameter in url with name as sys_id ?

if yes then try this

function onLoad(){

var url = top.location.href;
var value = new URLSearchParams(url).get("sys_id"); // give here the parameter name
g_form.setValue('hidden_variable', value);

}
