–Once you’ve created the macro you need to invoke it on your user field by adding the ‘ref_contributions=add_me’ attribute to the dictionary of the user field.

‘Add my group’ UI macro for group fields

The group scenario is a bit more complicated because there’s not a built-in system concept of a primary group. Since each user can be a member of multiple groups you’ll need to decide how to deal with this in your environment. I think if I was setting it up, I’d put a ‘Primary’ field on the ‘sys_user_grmember’ table. This field could be modified by list editing the ‘Groups’ related list on the user form.

For this example, I’ve just set up the code so that it looks at the group membership table. If the user is a member of one group then that group will be populated. Otherwise, an alert appears indicating that a primary group doesn’t exist. You can adjust the ‘addMyGroup’ function below to meet your specific needs.

‘add_my_group’ UI macro

Name: add_my_group

XML:

function addMyGroup(reference) { //Get the group reference field and populate the first group queried var s = reference.split('.'); var referenceField = s[1]; var grpRec = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember'); grpRec.addQuery('user', '$[gs.getUserID()]'); grpRec.query(groupCallback); //After the server returns the query recordset, continue here function groupCallback(grpRec){ //Check to see if the user is a member of a single group if(grpRec.next()){ if(grpRec.rows.length == 1){ //Populate for a single group g_form.setValue(referenceField, grpRec.group); } else{ alert('No primary group defined.'); } } else{ alert('You are not a member of any groups.'); } } }
