Show Contents of g_scratchpad

The g_scratchpad is a global JavaScript object in ServiceNow used to pass data from server-side scripts (e.g., UI Policies, Business Rules, or Script Includes) to client-side scripts (e.g., Client Scripts or UI Pages). It acts as a temporary storage mechanism, populated on the server before a page loads, and is accessible on the client side without requiring additional AJAX calls.
