(other options discussed by other developers in these example links, see below for my approCH

my solution:

whilst $('quantity').value worked beautifully in client script in classic UI, I could not locate an equivalent that was service portal friendly. As in this instance I did not wish to modify/copy the out of the box widget, I decided to follow this approach:

  • add a read only max quantity variable to the catalog item (reusable variable set) and set it per item in onload client script


  • below before insert business rule [sc_req_item] to override the value

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) { var sMaxQuantity = current.variables.item_max_quantity + ""; if (sMaxQuantity != "") { if (parseInt(sMaxQuantity) > 0 && (parseInt(current.quantity) > parseInt(sMaxQuantity))) { var sMsg = 'This item has a maximum quantity. As a higher quantity was selected on checkout [' + current.quantity + '] this has defaulted to the maximum value [' + sMaxQuantity + ']'; //current.work_notes = sMsg; //gs.addInfoMessage(sMsg); current.comments = sMsg; } } })(current, previous);

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 ; } } }
