Yes, we used this and love it!

Feature: Dynamic header application/update set picker resizing.
Feature: Clickable header application/updates set icons.

I am looking for a solution on this in UI16?

They finally made it possible again to display the updateset picker in the bar but sizing is terrible and i can’t jump to the the affected update set on click.

Has someone made progression on this? Reported it in HI with an incident

Is it possible to leave it in the current location, but also have it in the “older” location with that separate element id using .clone() or something similar to that?

I started this in the “ideas” section of the developer community. Voting this up might help get visibility around this issue.

Let’s try this one more time…. I added the below after all the select statements in Mark’s above code:

// Insert a label
$(‘update_set_picker_select’).insert({
before: ‘Update set’

In reply to Mark Stanger. OK, that makes sense. Thanks again for the older solution, though - it has saved me so much time over hundreds of update sets.

In reply to Tim Ruzicki. I don't have a way to do that currently and I'm not sure it's a good idea for us to continue to modify it anyway. If I were you, I would complain very loudly to ServiceNow via a hi ticket so that they'll fix it. The sizing on the update set picker is messed up as well. It doesn't even resize large enough to clearly display the name of the default picker. They think they're fixing it for everybody but it's still a pretty terrible job of fixing it. If enough people contact them and request it there may still be hope for getting it really fixed in Geneva.

Hi Mark. First, thank you very much for this post — I’ve used it several times and I love it. Second, I’ve just upgraded my personal dev instance to Geneva and turned on UI16. I’m sure you’ve seen that, out of box, you have the option to move the update set picker into the header. However, you must go through the gear–>developer section to easily get to the update set, or list of update sets. Obviously, there are other ways to accomplish this (like using a bookmark on the Edge), but is there a way to get that functionality back in the header bar…similar to what you’ve done with this post?

Thank you again,
-Tim.

In reply to Dave Stuart. I'm not sure what that error would be about. This should be pretty much a copy/paste solution. You might try checking your other UI scripts in your system to see if there's a conflict somewhere.
