How to change title of list item programatically using Custom Action with JavaScript

Question

I have created a custom action on item list menu called Change Status as shown in the picture

I have created this Custom Action using the following javascript code:

 function AddCustomUserActionToECB() {  
    //Get the client context,web and list object   
    var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext();  
    var oWeb = clientContext.get_web(); 
    var oList = oWeb.get_lists().getByTitle('helpdesk');
    var userCustomActionColl = oList.get_userCustomActions();  
    var oUserCustomAction = userCustomActionColl.add();  
    oUserCustomAction.set_location('EditControlBlock');  
    oUserCustomAction.set_sequence(100);  
    oUserCustomAction.set_title("Change Status"); 


     oUserCustomAction.set_url("/helpdesk/Lists/helpdesk/EditForm.aspx?ID={ItemId}"); 


        oUserCustomAction.update();          
        clientContext.load(userCustomActionColl);
        clientContext.executeQueryAsync(QuerySuccess, QueryFailure);  
    }  

    function QuerySuccess() {  
        console.log("Custom Action added to ECB menu.");  
    }  

    function QueryFailure() {  
        console.log('Request failed - ' + args.get_message());  
    } 

But I can only go to the edit mode of that item. But what I want is when we click at Change Status to automatically change the Title field to AutoGenerated. How can i do that?

Instead of oUserCustomAction.set_url("/helpdesk/Lists/helpdesk/EditForm.aspx?ID={ItemId}"); try to use in your code UserCustomAction.set_scriptBlock(UPDATE_ITEM_SCRIPT_TEXT). And write code to update item Title.
