UI Action to update multiple records from list view

[mballinger]

Hello,

I need a UI Action that will allow a user to select 1 or many records and then open a comments dialog modal . The comments modal will update all selected records with the comment entered. How can I do this? 

***EDIT***

I've figured out how to do this through Alerts and Prompts, but I want to do this using GlideModal and UI Page. Can someone help me figure out how to reconstruct what I have?

UI Action:

function getRecords() {
    var oldVal = '';
    var selectedRecords = g_list.getChecked(); 
    var prompt = prompt("Enter a Comment Here: ", oldVal);

    if (!selectedRecords|| selectedRecords.length == 0)
        return;
    if (prompt!= '' && prompt!= null) {
        var ga = new GlideAjax('GetRecordsSelected');
        ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getSelectedRecords');
        ga.addParam('sysparm_ids', selectedRecords);
        ga.addParam('sysparm_prompt', prompt);
        ga.getXML(getRec);
    } else {
        alert("Please input a comment");
    }

    function getRec(response) {
        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
        location.reload();
    }
}

Script Include:

var GetRecordsSelected = Class.create();
GetRecordsSelected.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
    getSelectedRecords: function() {
        var array = [];
        var selectedRecords = this.getParameter('sysparm_ids');
		var prompt = this.getParameter('sysparm_prompt');
        var sysIds = selectedRecords.split(",");
        var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
        gr.addQuery('sys_id', 'IN', selectedRecords);
        gr.query();
        while (gr.next()) {
            gr.short_description = prompt;
			gr.state = '3'; //On Hold
			gr.caller_id = 'Abel Tuter (architect)'; //Abel Tutter
			gr.assignment_group = '019ad92ec7230010393d265c95c260dd'; //Analytics Settings Managers
			gr.update();
        }
    },

    type: 'GetRecordsSelected'
});

Thanks!
