Hi Mallikharjuna,

RP.getWindowProperties() is used to get value of any parameter passed in url

mostly it is used in UI pages, UI macros etc

the name of the url parameter is sent into get method; for example below the url parameter name is text

<g:evaluate var="jvar_text" expression ="RP.getWindowProperties().get('text')"

when ever one field value is selected, UI page open. Could you please tell me if UI Page is getting triggered from onChange Client script?

HTML:

<style>
/* dialog styles */
.dialog_content {
width: 100%;
vertical-align: top;
min-width: 450px;
text-align: center;
padding: 8px 0 0 20px;
}

.dialog_data {
width: 100%;
vertical-align: top;
text-align: left;
padding: 0px 5px 20px 60px;
}

.dialog_buttons {
display: inline;
text-align: right;
vertical-align:bottom;
white-space: nowrap;
}

.dialog_buttons_row {
text-align: right;
}

.dialog_left_icon {
font-size: 300%;
vertical-align: top;
}

.dialog_left_icon_confirm {
color: #6CE474;
}
</style>
<g:ui_form onsubmit="return triggerCallback('ok');">
<g:evaluate var="jvar_text" expression ="RP.getWindowProperties().get('text')" />
<g:evaluate var="jvar_ci" expression="RP.getWindowProperties().get('ci')" />
<g:evaluate var="jvar_assignment_group" expression="RP.getWindowProperties().get('assignment_group')" />
<g:evaluate var="jvar_supplier" expression="RP.getWindowProperties().get('supplier')" />

<table border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="dialog_content">${jvar_text} </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="dialog_data"> <br> <b> Configuration Item:&#160; </b> ${jvar_ci}</br> <br><b> Assignment Group:&#160; </b> ${jvar_assignment_group} </br> <br><b> Supplier:&#160; </b> ${jvar_supplier} </br> </td>
</tr>
<tr class="dialog_buttons_row">
<td class="dialog_buttons">
<g:dialog_buttons_ok_cancel ok="triggerCallback('ok');" ok_type="button"
cancel="triggerCallback('cancel')" cancel_type="button"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</g:ui_form>

Client:

function triggerCallback(type){
var gdw = GlideDialogWindow.get();
if (type == 'ok'){
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');
gr.addQuery('name',gdw.getPreference('assignment_group'));
gr.query();
if(gr.next()){
g_form.setValue('assignment_group',gr.sys_id);
}
gdw.destroy();
}
else if (type == 'cancel')
gdw.destroy();
}

in client script , gdw.getPreference('assignment_group')); from where preference is  coming, could you please explain the above code?

Hi Mallikharjuna,

It is getting the preference i.e. the value of assignment_group from the url parameter

As you said on change of field you are calling the UI page that client script is sending value of assignment_group to the UI page and you are accessing it using getPreference()

check example below
