How to automatically populate an opened by with the logged-in user

[Anand2799 · Accepted solution]

Hi @Uthman ,

Where do you want to auto populate Native view or catalog item?

You can set default value to:

javascript: gs.getUserID();

Thanks

Set the Default Value to javascript:gs.getUserID()

.gs.getUserID() gets the Sys ID of the currently logged-in user

Hi @Uthman ,
you can set the default value in the dictionary to:

javascript:gs.getUserID()

That will ensure it always takes the currently logged-in user. Alternatively, you can use a client script (g_form.setValue('opened_by', g_user.userID)) if you want to handle it on the form.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi @Uthman 
Use javascript:gs.getUserID(); 
in the Default Value field of a catalog variable or reference field or Onload client script (g_form.setValue('requested_for', g_user.userID);)
