How to store who clicked a custom button in a custom field

We have a custom button that executes JavaScript on our case record:

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/14.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/14.0/apex.js")}
this.disabled=true;
try{
var accId='{!Account.Id}';
var objectId = '{!Case.Id}';

var result = sforce.apex.execute("ForceJiraComm", "createIssue",
{case_id : objectId});
alert(result);
location = location;
}
catch(err) {
txt="There was an error on this page.\n\n";
txt+="Error description: " + err + "\n\n";
txt+="Click OK to continue.\n\n";
alert(txt);
}
this.removeAttribute('disabled');

We want it to also write the full name of the user that clicked the button to the custom field JIRA_Escalated_By__c on the case object.  How do we do this?

Basically, how can update our APEX to store who clicks a custom button?”

In your createIssue function add the line:
<custom_object_name>.JIRA_Escalated_By__c = UserInfo.getUserId();

Replace the <custom_object_name> by your object name containing the field JIRA_Escalated_By__c. I am assuming you have already set up and instantiated the object in the function.

Hi,

 

inside the createIssue method of ForceJiraComm class, u can add the following code.

 

Case caseOBj = [Select Id, JIRA_Escalated_By__c FROM Case WHERE Id =: case_id];

 

// Incase if JIRA_Escalated_By__c is a look-up to User object

caseObj.JIRA_Escalated_By__c = Userinfo.getUserd();

 

// Incase if JIRA_Escalated_By__c is a String that just stores the User's Full Name

caseObj.JIRA_Escalated_By__c = [Select Name FROM User WHERE Id=: Userinfo.getUserd()].Name;

No luck with this first solution.  The second looks promising, but it's not working either.  Still tinkering with the next.

This is what I'm using:

 

        Case caseOBj = [Select Id, JIRA_Escalated_By__c FROM Case WHERE Id =: case_id];
        caseObj.JIRA_Escalated_By__c = [Select Name FROM User WHERE Id=: Userinfo.getUserId()].Name;

 

It's not throwing errors, but it's not putting my name in teh "JIRA Escalated By" field when I click the button.

 

Here is where i have this in my code:

 

    WebService static String createIssue(String case_id) {
        List<String> caseIds = new List<String>();
        caseIds.add(case_id);    
        List<Case> cases =  ForceJiraComm.getCasesByID(caseIds);
        Case escalated_case = cases[0];
        Case caseOBj = [Select Id, JIRA_Escalated_By__c FROM Case WHERE Id =: case_id];
        caseObj.JIRA_Escalated_By__c = [Select Name FROM User WHERE Id=: Userinfo.getUserId()].Name;
        
        String escalation_type = escalated_case.JIRA_Escalation_Type__c;
        if(escalation_type==null)
            return 'You must provide a JIRA Escalation Type to send this to JIRA.';
            
        if((escalated_case.Escalated_to_RND__c != null) &&
           (escalated_case.JIRA_Resolution_Date__c == null))
            return 'You cannot send a new escalation to JIRA until the current escalation is resolved.';           

        //Construct Endpoint
        String endpoint = ForceJiraComm.BASE_URL + '/rest/customware/connector/1.0/' + 
                          ForceJiraComm.SYSTEM_ID + '/Case/'+ case_id + '/issue/create.json';

Hi,

 

Try this,

 

which will update with current user.

 

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/8.0/connection.js")}
var Account = new sforce.SObject("Account");
Account.id = "{!Account.Id}";
Account.hello__c= "{!$User.Id}";

var result = sforce.connection.update([Account]);

if (result[0].getBoolean("success"))
{
// Refresh window
window.location.reload();
}
else
{
alert("Error saving lead");
}

 

Regards,

Rajesh.
