ServicePortal spUIActionsExecuter.executeFormAction doubt

[rafael_merces2]

Hi all,

Do any of you know what exactly the bellow instruction does?

spUIActionsExecuter.executeFormAction(ESIGNATURE.REJECT_SYS, "sysapproval_approver" , id, [] , "", requestParams).then(function(response) {}); 

I know this is going to show a pop-up in case the ESIGNATURE is necessary, but I would like to know how it works.

Thanks,

Thanks! How did you find this?

Hi Brian,

Many of these scripts can be found using the browser DevTools. I more than likely used Chrome at that time but you should be able to use Firefox or Edge/IE too.

From Chrome I do an Inspect Element on the page and click on the Source tab and look in the Scripts folder.

For Firefox do an Inspect Element and click on the Debugger tab and look in the Scripts folder
