Hi,

this post collects some variants: https://community.aras.com/f/development/3996/call-same-client-method-from-different-locations-action-cui-form-button

But I still discover new ones, cause the new CUI interface offers a lot of ways to deal with items and elements.

This variant can be used for Form and Actions. This combination would only allow JS:

let myItem;
if (parent.thisItem === undefined){
    myItem = this; // Action call
}
else 
{
    myItem = parent.thisItem; // form call
}

return aras.AlertError(myItem.getProperty("name"));

    Thank you very much Angela, I will read everything and try.

    One question, is there any help where I can see all the methods, etc, that exist in ARAS? I have 3 PDFs, but it is not complete.
    For example of aras.uiReShowItem I have not found anything in any PDF, only in the forum.

    Thank you very much!!.

      Hahaha! These funny questions of new users.[emoticon:98f842990f454422aa6a04953955f9d9]

      Unfortunately JavaScript related function often is not documented at all. But don´t worry to much about it. 

      The forum is an excellent source for stuff not covered in the official docs. As additional useful resource I can recommend the "aras programmers guide". It contains a lot of useful samples. You can google it.

      There are API references inside Innovator and some are also listed here: https://cylnote.blogspot.com/search/label/API%20Reference
