That is not possible. You can refer to this thread on what methods you can use using g_tabs2Sections:

In reply to Rahul Gubbala. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of anything that can handle this type of thing in the Service Portal scripting API at the moment. I'll be sure to post that here if there is anything that comes available.

Hi Mark,

I’ve been struggling of late regarding the tabbed forms and lists in the service portal. Is there any way that I could use your line of code in the widgets that I use for the portal pages?

Regards,
Rahul.

In reply to Michael Sabia. Thanks for letting me know. You can simply replace 'h3' with 'span' in the code you're referencing to make this work in Fuji. I've corrected the code in the article above.

The var myTabs = $(‘tabs2_section’).select(‘h3[class=”tab_header”]’); line seems to have stopped working in Fuji. As a workaround, I’m using the following which first locates a tab by looking for a field and then setting focus to that tab

g_tabs2Sections.setActive(g_tabs2Sections.findTabIndex(‘close_notes’));

In reply to Xavier Bob.

The ‘Related Records’ tab is a form section, not a related list I believe. It is also the ‘1’ position by default on the ServiceNow incident form. This should work correctly in a SN demo instance. You’ll have to make sure your configuration matches or adjust the script accordingly.

g_tabs2Sections.setActive(1);

Hey Mark,

If i want the Releated Records tab to be visible on selecting state ‘Awaiting Problem’,shouldnt this work fine if i include only “g_tabs2List.setActive(2);” in my client script…. this isnt working do we have to include the whole script which is provided above
