ServiceNow Service catalog lookup select: pull cat item sys id into reference qualifier, use data lookup definitions



Service catalog dl:

extending system dl table so as not to incur license cost:

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/paris-platform-administration/page/administer/field-administration/reference/r_CreateCustomDataLookups.html


this variable does a lookup to a table extending the DL tables to perform a data lookup to pull in a value named “catalogue UID” based on the “request type” variable:

Data lookup table (extends DL table)




variable











javascript:'active=true^u_catalogue_item=' + current.cat_item.sys_id;

 

Corresponding variables populated via data lookup definitions



Catalog client script on the request type to populate item request type> which in turn fires the data lookup definition:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

  if (isLoading) {

       // return;

    }

    if (newValue == '') {

        g_form.setValue('item_request_type', '');

         g_form.setValue('item_catalogue_uid', '');

        return;

    }

 

    g_form.setValue('item_request_type', newValue);

 

}

 

Result on the form:refresh the catalogue UID

ServiceNow check for null or nil or empty (or not)

Haven't tested these all recently within global/local scopes, so feel free to have a play! option 1 use an encoded query embedded in the GlideRecord , e.g.  var grProf = new GlideRecord ( 'x_cls_clear_skye_i_profile' ); grProf . addQuery ( 'status=1^ owner=NULL ' ); grProf . query (); even better use the glideRecord  addNotNullQuery or addNullQuery option 2 JSUtil.nil / notNil (this might be the most powerful. See this link ) example: if ( current . operation () == 'insert' && JSUtil . notNil ( current . parent ) && ! current . work_effort . nil ())  option 3 there might be times when you need to get inside the GlideRecord and perform the check there, for example if the code goes down 2 optional routes depending on null / not null can use gs.nil : var grAppr = new GlideRecord ( 'sysapproval_approver' ); var grUser = new GlideRecord ( 'sys_user' ); if ( grUser . get ( 'sys_id' , current . approver )){...

Code a pause/wait - gs.sleep / gs.wait alternative, pause script for specified seconds (timer)  e.g. 10 seconds: do_sleep ( 10000 ); function do_sleep ( milliseconds ) { var start = new Date (). getTime (); for ( var i = 0 ; i < 1e7 ; i ++) { if (( new Date (). getTime () - start ) > milliseconds ){ gs . print ( 'waking up!' ); break ; } } }
