@kumarinisha378 thank you for your submission. I have started reviewing your code, however, from the description it is not clear to me what your intend of this code is. Can you please add more context? |

@earlduque is this still relevant? It is an open pull request, but not in the 3 main projects.
| var dictionaryInfo = {}; | ||
|
|
||
| // Initialize field counts | ||
| var gr = new GlideRecord(tableNames); |

Hi Kumarinisha378,
thank you for submitting this! Appreciate the effort and extend of this new file. Please note gr as variable name should be avoided. Can you use descriptive variable names instead?
| var fields = gr.getFields(); | ||
| for (var i = 0; i < fields.size(); i++) { | ||
| var fieldName = fields.get(i).getName(); | ||
| fieldCounts[fieldName] = 0; |

I would combine this. Instead of gliderecord through all records initializing, then going over them in another (same query) on line 17-29, it would be better to iterate through each record once and set the fieldCounts. This requires less lines of code and impacts the performance less.

tableNames suggests it is plural, however, the code only accepts one table. Would be good to change the name. Additionally, provide a comment on the function and it's parameters. For example /** Returns x to the n-th power. @param {number} x The number, @param {number} n The power, @return {number} The result. */
