How to get the current view in client-side script

[bonsai]

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");

}

no you can use g_form as well both methods are client side API's

Hello @bonsai ,

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

what's your business requirement here?

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.
