Add an add/edit user UI Macro to a form

 based on ref: http://www.servicenowguru.com/system-ui/ui-macros/adding-referenced-records-leaving-form/

(note this is a very old article so there may be better ways of doing this!)


this adds a little + icon next to the caller field:




notes:

Show add/edit user macro icon on a reference field

Activate by:

– Setting the active field in this macro to true

– Adding the attribute to a dictionary field: ref_contributions=_add_edit_user_modified


sys property:



the UI Macro:



condition to hide/show the + icon

<j:if test="${(gs.getUser().getDepartmentID() == (gs.getProperty('hmcts.department')))&amp;&amp; gs.hasRole('itil_edit')}">

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 )){
