Display Business Rule and Client Script - hide empty variables on cat item form and make visible vars read only

Display Business Rule and Client Script - hide empty variables on cat item form and make visible vars read only (g_scratchpad)

 

BUSINESS RULE (Display) - generates the scratchpads which are passed to the client script

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) { //Get Catalog variables var emptyVariables = []; var readonlyVariables = []; var keys = []; var set = new GlideappVariablePoolQuestionSet(); set.setRequestID(current.request_item); //--if table is sc_task
//set.setRequestID(current.sys_id); //--if table is RITM set.load(); var vs = set.getFlatQuestions(); var description = ''; for (var i = 0; i < vs.size(); i++) { var sDisplVal = vs.get(i).getDisplayValue().toString(); //var sLabel = vs.get(i).getLabel().toString(); var sField = vs.get(i).getName().toString(); //gs.addInfoMessage(!gs.nil(sLabel) + ',' + (sDisplVal!='') + ',' + sLabel + ': ' + sDisplVal); if (!gs.nil(sField) && (sDisplVal == '' || sDisplVal == 'false')) { emptyVariables.push(sField); } else { readonlyVariables.push(sField); } } g_scratchpad.emptyVariables = emptyVariables.toString(); g_scratchpad.readonlyVariables = readonlyVariables.toString(); //gs.addInfoMessage(g_scratchpad.emptyVariables); })(current, previous);



  

CLIENT SCRIPT: this can be a client script (not catalog client script) on sc_task or RITM //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
if (g_scratchpad.emptyVariables != '') { //alert(g_scratchpad.emptyVariables); var emptyVars = g_scratchpad.emptyVariables.split(','); for (i = 0; i < emptyVars.length; i++) { //alert(emptyVars[i].toString()); g_form.setDisplay('variables.' + emptyVars[i], false); } } if (g_scratchpad.readonlyVariables != '') { //alert(g_scratchpad.readonlyVariables); var allVarsRO = g_scratchpad.readonlyVariables.split(','); for (x = 0; x < allVarsRO.length; x++) { //alert(allVarsRO[x].toString()); g_form.setReadOnly('variables.' + allVarsRO[x], true); } }

GlideRecord setValue

setValue(String name, Object value) Sets the specified field to the specified value. Normally a script would do a direct assignment, for example,  gr.category = value . However, if in a script the element name is a variable, then  gr.setValue(elementName, value)  can be used. When setting a value, ensure the data type of the field matches the data type of the value you enter. This method cannot be used on journal fields. If the value parameter is null, the record is not updated, and an error is not thrown https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/api_doc?v=madrid&id=r_GlideRecord-setValue_String_Object
