Assign to Me Button: How to configure on an SCTASK record similar to an INC record.

[Xavier_Wharton]

Hello fellow Admins, 

I received a request to configure an Assign to Me button for fulfillers on the SCTASK record. How would I do this to mimic the action and design of what is available on the INC form? 

See examples below.

CURRENT Incident Form > Service Operations Workspace	CURRENT Catalog Task (SCTASK) Form > Service Operations Workspace

The following UI action (copied from "Assign to me" defined on the change_task table) worked for me:

Appears on the sc_task form. Maybe this will work for you.

@Xavier_Wharton ,

Follow Below Process

1.Navigate to UI Actions in the backend. Filter Assign to me button for sc_task , Open the record 

2.Scroll to the bottom of Ui action and check the workspace related checkboxes, and add the script in the script field.

function onClick(g_form) {
    assignToMe();

    function assignToMe() {
        g_form.setValue("assigned_to", g_user.userID);
		g_form.submit(g_form.getActionName());
    }
}

Let me know if you need any more help

Thank you all for your assistance!!!!

I was able to take suggestions from everyone who replied, and I added a few additional steps to successfully configure the "Assign to Me" button on the classic and Service Operations Workspace task record. 

See the full steps below.

(function() { var assignedToFieldLabel = sys_meta[current.getRecordClassName()]["assigned_to"].label; if (!current.assigned_to.canWrite()) { gs.addErrorMessage(gs.getMessage("You do not have permission to update the {0} field", [assignedToFieldLabel])); return; } if (!current.assignment_group.nil() && !gs.getUser().isMemberOf(current.assignment_group.toString())) { gs.addErrorMessage(gs.getMessage("{0} user must be a member of the \"{1}\" group ", [assignedToFieldLabel, current.assignment_group.getDisplayValue()])); return; } current.assigned_to = gs.getUserID(); current.update(); })(); ​ 

Step Number	Description	Example
1	I looked up the existing "Assign to Me" UI action related to the Change Table. Table: Type sys_ui_action.list in the All Menu.
2	I opened the Change able record and used the "Insert and Stay" function to copy the record and renamed it "Assign to me (SCTASK)".
3	I opened the new "Assign to me (SCTASK)" record and made the following changes: Top Half 1. Action name changed to sctask_assign_to_me.  2. Checked the following boxes: - Active - Show insert - Show update - Form button - List context menu Bottom Half - Workspace For Button-see step 4-Format for Configurable Workspace
4	I inputted the following code within the Workspace Client Script field:
