Copy code
function tryThis(param){
console.log(param);
}
tryThis('test') // 'test'
function sameVar(param){
param = 'changed'
console.log(param)
}
sameVar('test') // 'changed's

Copy code
/**
* Function to be executed after page is initialized.
*
* @param {Object} scriptContext
* @param {Record} scriptContext.currentRecord - Current form record
* @param {string} scriptContext.mode - The mode in which the record is being accessed (create, copy, or edit)
*
* @since 2015.2
*/
function pageInit(scriptContext) {
