Hello Community!
I am working on a Service Portal widget to allow users to add to the watch list. I used the code from the widget provided in the ServiceNow Elite blog.
https://www.servicenowelite.com/blog/2017/6/1/service-portal-watchlist-widget?rq=watch%20list
I took the code from both widgets and blended them together so that users can select someone from the list or add an email address manually. The code works fine for manual entries. The problem I'm running into is if you select someone from the users list and the manual box is blank it sets an "undefined" value as well. I'm not the greatest at widget scripting and was wondering if anyone could spot my issue?

Try below server script
(function() {
var gr;
//if the user inputs data
if(input){
gr = new GlideRecord(input.table);
if(gr.get(input.sys_id)){
// if user has write access allow update of list
if(gr.watch_list.canWrite()){
gr.watch_list = input.watchList;
gr.update();
gs.addInfoMessage('Watch List Updated');
}
//if user does not have write access show error message
else{
gs.addErrorMessage("Update failed, you don't have the required access");
}
}
}
//if user isn't inputting data
else{
var table = $sp.getParameter('table');
var sys_id = $sp.getParameter('sys_id');
gr = new GlideRecord(table);
//Get the record data
if(gr.get(sys_id)){
data.table = table;
data.sys_id = sys_id;
data.canRead = gr.watch_list.canRead();
data.canWrite = gr.watch_list.canWrite();
//if user has read rights, display the watch list values
if(data.canRead){
var dV = gr.getDisplayValue('watch_list');
var sV = gr.getValue('watch_list');
//data.displayValue = dV == '' ? [] : dV;
//data.value = sV == null ? [] : sV;
data.displayValue = dV;
data.value = sV;
}
}
}
})();
/*distribution list function*/
(function() {
data.sys_id = $sp.getParameter('sys_id');
//if the user inputs data find the record
if (input) {
if(input.watch_list){
data.sys_id = input.sys_id;
var grTask = GlideRecord("task");
grTask.query("sys_id", data.sys_id);
grTask.query();
if (grTask.next()) {
var wList = grTask.watch_list;
var wEmail = input.watch_list;
// If there's already users listed
if(wList != "") {
wList = (wList + "," + wEmail);
}
//If the watch list is empty
else {
wList = wEmail;
}
//Update the record with new Watch List values
grTask.watch_list = wList;
data.displayValue = wEmail;
grTask.update();
}

Hi Patrick,
For a record producer you'll want to create a variable to enter an external email and use a script like the example below to have it properly added to your record on creation.
This should allow internal and external entries to be added simultaneously.
var result = "";
if(producer.watch_list != '' && producer.watchlist_ext == '')
result += producer.watch_list;
current.watch_list = result;
if(producer.watch_list == '' && producer.watchlist_ext != '')
result += producer.watchlist_ext;
current.watch_list = result;
if(producer.watch_list != '' && producer.watchlist_ext != '')
result += producer.watch_list + ','+ producer.watchlist_ext;
current.watch_list = result;

Hello Mike,
Some users are not being able to select the users from the watchlist.
By placing the cursor in the watchlist, it keeps browsing.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Arun

What code did you use for the Client Controller?
