Client-Side Components/Catalog Client Script/Auto-populate field from URL/README.md

@@ -0,0 +1,17 @@
+This piece of code is designed for an usecase where you might want to populate a field value that you're passing as a query in the URL which redirects to a catalog item.
+In this case, a custom field 'u_date' is chosen as an example to be shown:
+
+1. You open a catalog item record via a URL that carries a date in the query string.
+Example:
+https://your-instance.service-now.com/your_form.do?sysparm_u_date=2025-10-31
+-(This URL includes a parameter named sysparm_u_date with the value 2025-10-31.)
+
+
+2. The catalog client script reads the page URL and extracts that specific parameter which returns the value "2025-10-31".
+
+3. If the parameter is present, the script populates the form field.
+Calling g_form.setValue('u_date', '2025-10-31') sets the date field on the form to 31 October 2025.
+
+
+Result:
+The date field in the form is prefilled from the URL
