Issues with advanced reference qualifiers in the mobile user interface

KB Summary by Now Assist

Description

Cannot set field values on redirect to a form for the mobile UI. Also cannot use script include calls in advanced reference qualifiers for the mobile UI.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create an ng UI action with following script: "var url = 'incident.do?sys_id=-1&sysparm_query=short_description=Hopefullythisworks^caller=62826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5df1'; action.setRedirectURL(url);" 
  2. Click the UI action in the mobile UI. You are redirected to the incident, but the fields are not filled in.
  3. On the incident table, set the reference caller field's advanced reference qualifier to a javascript: scriptinclude.method(). (Use a script include to return an encoded query like sys_idIN62826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5df1).
  4. In the mobile UI, this field is not limited to the results of your encoded query because it did not evaluate the javascript correctly.

 

Workaround

There are no plans to fix this issue at this time. Avoid setting field values on redirect to a form and script include calls in advanced reference qualifiers for the mobile UI.
