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

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

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
