UI Type: Desktop/All

Field name: Category
Scirpt:
function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
return;
}

//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
if(newValue == "software"){
var gr = new GlideRecord("incident");
gr.short_description = "test gliderecord.insert client side";
gr.insert();
}
}
3. Navigate to "incident.do".
