How to create sys property Reference type and List Type

How to create sys property Reference type and List Type so that we can select values from table instead of adding comma separated sys_ids.

[Community Alums]

@Varsha A Navigate to sys_properties.list and click on new to create a new property.

For reference type:

Type: Choose Reference from the dropdown.

Reference Table: Choose the target table you want to reference (e.g., cmdb_ci_computer, incident, user, etc.).

Default Value: This can be left empty or can be set to a default sys_id (if needed).

And for other Choose List from the dropdown.

To utilise properties in script :

Reference Property:

var refValue = gs.getProperty('your_table_reference_property');

var gr = new GlideRecord('cmdb_ci_computer');

gr.get(refValue); // Retrieves the referenced record based on the sys_id

List Property:

var listValue = gs.getProperty('your_table_list_property');

var sysIds = listValue.split(','); // Split the comma-separated sys_ids

var gr = new GlideRecord('cmdb_ci_computer');

gr.addQuery('sys_id', 'IN', sysIds);

gr.query();

while (gr.next()) {

    // Process each record in the list or add your logic as per your requirement.

}

Hope this will help you.

Hi @Community Alums 

we don't have type reference  available : "Type: Choose Reference from the dropdown."

Hi @Varsha A ,

Did not understand you fully, Are you trying to get the reference value from property? Please explain bit more your requirement.

Hi @Runjay Patel , yes i want to create property of type reference or List, so that i can select values from table.

e.g. i would like to select user from the reference field.
