Hi,

This looks like a very useful tool, but it is not supported on on-premises instances.

Any plans on adding support for other sites than the service-now.com ones?

Hi,

Frankly speaking, I didn't know there is a need to support non-cloud instances. In the next version, I will add the feature to configure SNOW host names.

Hi,

That would be very nice. This looks to have features that save a lot of time and speed things up!

Our on-premise instances follow the following naming convention:

xxxxxx.domain.com

xxxxxxtst.domain.com

xxxxxxdev.domain.com

Regards,

Lukasz, is this extension open source?  I was putting together a comparison post about your extension, SN Tool Belt and SN Utils but I could not find the source, is it available on github or gitlab?

@Lukasz Krzaczkowski Great work on this extension! Super helpful!

Is there a way that I can add an example to a parameter variable instead of showing the name of the variable?

Instead it would be great if you could do something like this:

Script name	Parameters
Example echo	text1 = Enter sample text text2 = Additional help text text3 = Optional third parameter - defaults to "Hello, World!"

[Lukasz Krzaczk2]

Implemented in SwissNow 0.11.202. Should be already published in Chrome.

Looks like the onPrem version is 0.11.122-onprem. I'm assuming that feature hasn't been pushed to the onPrem version yet.
