ServiceNow Service Catalog Advanced Reference Qualifier in SCOPED app observations: the script include is created within the scoped app but needs to be accessible from all scopes client callable box does not need to be ticked example calling from the ref qual field on the catalog variable ( lookup select box ): javascript:'sys_idIN' + new x_cls_clear_skye_i.ClearSkyeTableServerSide().retrieveMemberships(current.variables.account) example calling from the ref qual field on the catalog variable ( list collector ): javascript:'sys_idIN'+new x_cls_clear_skye_i.ClearSkyeTableServerSide().retrieveMemberships(current.variables.account.toString()) note the 'variable attributes' field on the variable: ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=group (my observation is that ref_qual_elements =account causes the filter to BREAK!!

The  isPublic()  setting takes precedence over the  glide.script.ccsi.ispublic property . For example, if you set  isPublic()  to true in an individual script, it makes it public, which overrides the  glide.script.ccsi.ispublic  property that makes all other client-callable script includes private isPublic:function(){return[true/false];}, https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/utah-platform-security/page/administer/security/reference/privacy-on-client-callable-script...
