How to solve the above problem, using client script methods g_form and g_user only

Hi @pk16514 

it's not recommended to do this on client-side as the code might not work in all experiences. Instead, do this in the catalog item. The following article explains how to do that: https://blog.snowycode.com/post/how-to-auto-populate-the-current-user-in-servicenow

Hello @pk16514 ,

Instead of using client script. You can populated email and phone number by using default value.

Add below in default value to that variables :

javascript:gs.getUser().getRecord().getValue('phone_number');//phone number

javascript:gs.getUser().getRecord().getValue('email');//email

Please Mark my Solution as Accept and Give me thumbs up, if you find it Helpful.
