We use "RP.getViewName()" to get a view in a server-side script, but how do we get the view name in a client-side script?

Hi @bonsai you can use the below script to check view name in client script

 var view = getView();
 alert("test"+view);
if(view == 'ess')
{
alert("inside");
}

Hello @bonsai ,

Using getView() method you can get view name in the client side.

As I've posted in other questions, I wanted to implement record copying with a client-side UI action.
I wanted the form screen after copying to inherit the view name before copying.
Somehow it worked.
