Custom overrides of switches like -s on a per-slashcommand basis

[VanWeapon]

This thought came from the fact that -s flag doesn't work with /log command
The -s flag is used for opening records for the given table only for those in the current scope.

In this case, this command doesn't work because syslog doesnt have a sys_scope field, instead it uses a Source field.
Alternatively there is syslog_app_scope which does have sys_scope

There's probably a few ways to handle this, but I guess my question is if it's possible to override flags for specific slashcommands.

E.g. for all slashcommands, default behaviour of -s is to apply a sys_scope=$scopeid filter, however if the slashcommand is /log I want to change the behaviour of -s only for this command (to be source=$scopename or override distination to syslog_app_scope with standard filter appending)

Maybe this could be an extension of the custom switches feature referenced here: https://www.arnoudkooi.com/switch/

{
    "s": {
        "description": "Current Scope",
        "value": "^source=javascript:gs.getCurrentScopeName()",
        "type": "encodedquerypart",
        "overwrites": ["/log"], // new part here to denote special behaviour for certain commands?
    },
}

I'll have a look, I like the idea, although I have the impression only a small subset uses the switch feature in the first place.
I would really want to restructure the slash command code to be more modular, in order to keep it maintainable.

I added a way to do it, let me know if this works, where the object key should be switch.tablename, in this case s.syslog
Available in 6.3.2.0. Will update when Chrome version is published.

ServiceNow-Utils/inject.js

Lines 360 to 362 in 0b41509

	var snuslashswitchesvalueoverwrites = {
	"s.syslog": "^source=javascript:var sc = new GlideRecord('sys_scope'); sc.get(gs.getCurrentApplicationId()); sc.scope;"
	};

FYI There is a shortcut to get the scope name which is gs.getCurrentScopeName()
Will test when chrome version is out

[arnoudkooi]

I already checked, but that one always returns rhino.global
The Chrome update is now available

[VanWeapon]

Checked and this is working for me, cheers

Just remembered this and came up with another examples where this could be useful

-n on slashcommands for things like br or cs to add sysparm_query=collection=$table so that the table from current record is prefilled on a new script record (the name of the field is different on different tables, such as collection on br, table on client script, or name for dictionary and choices)

Are there any plans to make these editable via the settings page?
