Button to flip Request to Incident and vice versa - Not Working in Chrome

[J W]

SDM 14.1.02

Need to allow analysts to change a Request to Incident and vice versa as customers currently create Requests initially and then the decision of which type is made at Tier 1.

The following legacy code works in IE and Firefox but not Chrome.

IE:  version 11

Firefox ESR 45

Chrome: Version 51

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

detail_cr.htmpl

In the existing button row:

 

 

<PDM_IF "$args.id" != "0" && "$prop.form_name_3" == "edit" && "$args.status" != "CL"&& "$args.status" != "CAN">

<PDM_MACRO name=button Caption="Change To Incident" Func="document.main_form.elements('SET.type').value='I'; detailSave();" hotkey_name="Change To Incident(I)" ID="ITIL_REQUEST">

</PDM_IF>

...and added the necessary hidden element to capture the existing type:

 

 

<PDM_MACRO name=dtlStart scroll=true>
<PDM_IF "$prop.form_name_3" == "edit">
</script>
.....
<input type="hidden" name="SET.type" value="$args.type">
<script type="text/javascript">

 

//////////////////////////////////////////////////

What should I look for that Chrome handles differently?

 

thanks,

RESOLVED:

Change the button code to:

 

<PDM_IF "$args.id" != "0" && "$prop.form_name_3" == "edit" && "$args.status" != "CL"&& "$args.status" != "CAN">
<PDM_MACRO name=button Caption="Change To Incident" Func="document.getElementById('flip').value='I'; detailSave();" hotkey_name="Change To Incident(I)" ID="ITIL_REQUEST">
</PDM_IF>

 

and the hidden input to:

 

<input type="hidden" name="SET.type" id="flip" value="$args.type">

 

Apparently, "document.getElementById" is still supported while "document.main_form.elements" is deprecated?.  I couldn't find a specific reference to the supported versions,

hi,It is possible that they send me the source code of the form detail_cr, I am trying to replicate what they indicate in the post but it is not working

Here are my cheatsheet instructions for this mod:

 

1. Add the following to the button row of the detail_cr.htmpl - in the section where buttons are enabled for EDIT mode:

 

////////////////////////////////////////
<PDM_IF "$args.id" != "0" && "$prop.form_name_3" == "edit" && "$args.status" != "CL"&& "$args.status" != "CAN">
<PDM_MACRO name=button Caption="Change To Incident" Func="document.getElementById('flip').value='I'; detailSave();" hotkey_name="Change To Incident(I)" ID="ITIL_REQUEST">
</PDM_IF>
////////////////////////////////////////////

(When adding to detail_in - change the values to R and "Change to Request")

 

2. Add the following to the list of HIDDEN variables in the section of the FORM when it in EDIT Mode

 

////////////////////////////////////////////
<input type="hidden" name="SET.type" id="flip" value="$args.type">
/////////////////////////////////////////////

 

Example:

detail_cr.htmpl excerpt

Thanks @J_W I apply the changes in both ways, but I leave no trace in the activity log and for the purposes it would be good to press the button to identify if it was a registration error of the user or the technician perhaps putting a dropdown or a checkbox so proactively we would have How to identify which area should be strengthened or empowered.

 

thanks
