How to pass field value from UI action to another form field value

[Community Alums]

Hi Team,

I have a requirement wherein when we click on a UI action it should open another form and copy the value in Contact field which is a reference field from current form to the new form of same field type.

Below URL is getting opened which is a new record creation form:

https://instance.com/sn_customerservice_bulkupdatecontactrelationship.do?sys_id=-1&sys_is_list=true&...

The redirecting is happening fine,its the copying of value of contact field from the current form to the same field type on new form I need to achieve.

Can you assist?

Can you share the code you are using in the ui action?

Something like this should just work:

createCopy();

function createCopy() {
var newRecord = new GlideRecord("your_table");
newRecord.initialize();
newRecrod.contact = current.contact;
newRecord.insert();

Actually I do not need to insert record after routing to a new Page. I need to just copy the value after I click on UI Action.Below is the code wherein I am routing to the New record creation page. Now my requirement is once its routed to below URL as mentioned, it should copy the field value.

Say I am on Form A with a field called as 'Contact'. Once I click on UI action, it should copy the field value of 'contact' from Form A to same field type on 'Form B' .The new page which gets opened below is the New record creation page with some fields and the interested field is 'contact'

function route() {

    var contact = g_form.getValue('contact');

    var url = 'sn_customerservice_bulkupdatecontactrelationship.do?sysparm_u_contact='+contact;

   g_navigation.openPopup(url);

}

Thanks My issue is resolved by updating URL as 

var url = 'sn_customerservice_bulkupdatecontactrelationship.do?sys_id=-1&sysparm_query=u_contact='+contact;
