Action script for list context menus
The Action script field, on the Context Menu form, defines a script. The script runs when someone selects the context menu option.
This script is client-side and runs in the user's browser. The following JavaScript variables are available to the Action script when it is executed.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| g_list | GlideList2 against which the script runs. |
| g_fieldName | Name of the field against which the context menu runs. |
| g_fieldLabel | Label of the field against which the context menu runs. |
| g_sysId | The sys_id of the row or form against which the script runs. |
The base system uses the following code in an action script to refresh the platform view.
g_list.refresh(1);
Another example is the use of these variables in a list header menu to sort a list by the selected field in descending order (z to a).
g_list.sortDescending(g_fieldName);
