Included in the Developer Toolbox Update Set available on Share (link to Share in the post).

We are adding quite a bit of information to the g_scratchpad object on a project I'm involved with at the moment so I decided to create a quick tool to help us see what all ends up there. It's a simple client-side Related Link UI Action that pops up a window with the current contents:

Here's the configuration for the UI Action:

Name: Show Contents of g_scratchpad

Table: Global

Order: 200,000

Action name: u_fpc_show_contents_of_g_scratchpad

Active: checked

Show insert: checked

Show update: checked

Client: checked

Form link: checked

Messages: u_fpc_show_contents_of_g_scratchpad.modal.title

Hint: Displays the contents of the g_scratchpad object in a popup window (FPC)

Onclick: uFpcShowContentsOfGScratchpad()

Condition: gs.hasRole("admin")

Script:

function uFpcShowContentsOfGScratchpad(){
    var newLine = "\n";
    var scratchPad = [];
    var items = Object.keys(g_scratchpad);
    items.sort();  //sort the item names alphabetically in case they are not already

    var numberOfItems = items.length;
    for (var i = 0; i < numberOfItems; i++) {
        scratchPad.push(items[i] + " = " + JSON.stringify(g_scratchpad[items[i]]));
    }

    //encode the string so it can be passed to the UI Page properly and then decoded there
    scratchPad = encodeURIComponent(scratchPad.join(newLine));

    //open the dialog window
    var gdw = new GlideDialogWindow("u_fpc_simple_copy_paste");
    gdw.setTitle(getMessage("u_fpc_show_contents_of_g_scratchpad.modal.title"));
    gdw.setSize(650, 500);
    gdw.setPreference("sysparm_text", scratchPad);
    gdw.render();
}

The UI Action requires the "Simple Copy/Paste" UI Page to actually display the information.

I've attached the XML files for both the UI Action and the UI Message if you want to just import them into your instance.
