Hi Mark,

I am calling the ‘GlideDialogForm’ from a catalog catalog client script.

I am now trying to close this ‘GlideDialogForm’ window from the UI Action of the target table ( which GlideDialogForm is referring to). But , I had no success to close it off. There were couple of option I used which did close the GlideDialogForm but it also refreshes the original catalog form as well ( The form over which ‘GlideDialogForm’ is running).

Thanks,

Ash

Hi Mark, I am getting multiple scroll bars on the GlideWindow when implementing this solution.

You saved a life today with this lol. Thank you, your siteis amazing.

Just implemented this in our system today with a few tweak for different reference fields.

Is it possible to have list edit functionality in the GlideDialogForm, if opening list view of particular table in the popup?

Thanks.

Five years later and still a very slick solution for a variety of use cases. I just added this to a custom reference field that feeds into a table where we track employee appointments (that do not get registered in the official employee directory).

Thanks Mark.

In reply to Harel Ben-Sheffer. Not a way that I know of. Maybe some custom UI action to save asynchronously, but the standard form buttons will take over the whole page.

Thanks for the excellent post – 5 years after it was published, it is still relevant :)
A quick question: is there a way to stay in the form after clicking “Save”? Currently, “Save” and “Save and Exist” do the same; I would like the user to be able to stay after saving, instead of clicking again on the macro button.

[code]
function setUserField(action, sys_id, table, displayValue){
if (action != ‘sysverb_insert’){
//Set the user field with the popup user
g_form.setValue(referenceField, sys_id);
} else {
var ggsys = new GlideRecord(‘u_gct_caller_information’);
ggsys.addQuery(‘sys_created_by’, g_user.userName);
ggsys.orderByDesc(‘sys_created_on’);
ggsys.setLimit(1);
ggsys.query();
if (ggsys.next()){
sys_id = ggsys.sys_id;
g_form.setValue(referenceField, sys_id);
}
}
}
[/code]

In reply to Mark Stanger. Thank you for the reply, I ended up doing a query for the last user created by the logged in user with a limit of 1. Then updating the sysid variable inside that function.
