Client script working in UI16 - ITIL view but not in workspace - Support and Troubleshooting

Client script working in UI16 - ITIL view but not in workspace Issue There is a client script which is trying to clear the caller field on change of another field.

Below is the sample script. On change of a custom field we are trying to clear the 'caller_id'.

This is working fine on the UI16- ITIL view form, but not on the Agent workspace.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) { if (isLoading || newValue === '') { return; } var ga = new GlideAjax('GetAccountDetails'); ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getAccount'); ga.addParam('sysparm_fieldID', g_form.getValue('u_customField')); ga.getXML(populateAssn);

function populateAssn(response) { var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer'); var oldFieldValue = g_form.getValue('company'); if (oldFieldValue != answer) { g_form.setValue('company', answer); // var clr = g_form.getReference('caller_id'); //Commenting this

//Get the caller object so we can access fields var caller = g_form.getReference('caller_id', callBack); g_form.clearValue('caller_id'); } } } Cause This issue is happening because of using the getReference() API without any callback function in the onChange Client Script.

We need to use a callback function for getReference() method instead to make it work on Agent workspace/Service Portal:

Resolution Replace the script with below:

=================================================================== function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) { if (isLoading || newValue === '') { return; } var ga = new GlideAjax('GetAccountDetails'); ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getAccount'); ga.addParam('sysparm_fieldID', g_form.getValue('u_customField')); ga.getXML(populateAssn);

function populateAssn(response) { var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer'); var oldFieldValue = g_form.getValue('company'); if (oldFieldValue != answer) { g_form.setValue('company', answer); // var clr = g_form.getReference('caller_id'); //Commenting this

//Get the caller object so we can access fields var caller = g_form.getReference('caller_id', callBack); //Nested 'getReference' callback function for variable access function callBack(caller) { if (oldFieldValue == caller.company) { alert('inside'); g_form.clearValue('caller_id'); } } } } } =================================================================== Now, the Caller field is cleared as expected in Agent Workspace as well.
