In reply to james.white. It's probably possible but there's no simple, direct way. I think the better approach may be to add some additional information to your form to explain usage if necessary.

Is it possible to change the icon on the watch list and work notes list? Apparently the lock icon is confusing some of my users. They think it’s suppose to actually lock the field.

In reply to paramahanns. It's mostly an example of something you can do if you needed to manipulate something else on a form based on a lock/unlock trigger. I don't know that there's any specific use case.

The glide list I followed the steps which are specified on the Advanced Custom Locking Scripts section. But I dont understand the use of using the watch list in this context. Can you please explain more on this how it would work on using the script..

Thanks

If you are in Berlin release, use the dictionary attribute ‘start_locked=false’ on your field to expand the glide_list all the time.

In reply to Ryan Cox. Looks like yet another Berlin client scripting casualty. I've updated the scripts above. Try just 'click' instead of 'onclick'.

So, is this perhaps something that also does not work in Berlin? I just tried the simple method of
gel(‘incident.watch_list_lock’).onclick();

In reply to ND. There's nothing you can do about that unfortunately. That's just how list fields are designed. You can request an enhancement through ServiceNow support.

Hi,

I made property change to keep variable unlocked for Glide list. I have a variable in the form of type glide_list, it is working fine and now when I open form I can see variable is unlocked.

Now I an thinking why I am not getting “slushbucket” button when I first open the form. If I click on any new request I can’t see slushbucket button just above lock button. But once I save the request I can see slushbucket button above the lock button.

Is there is any system property I need to turn on to make slushbucket option available in form? OR Is there is any option where I can just get slushbucket only instead of glide list?

Regards,
ND
