@Vani14, 
Can you please set your location variable in the required field?
For Example: 
current.field_name = location;

Pick a short description from the current record like (var shortDes = current.short_description;)

Thanks,
Anshul

Hi @Vani14 ,

Can you check what is the value being returned on line no 8 locref.getUniqueValue()

I think location must be a reference field and you are setting the field with a string value like M1173 or M0001 you must use the sysid to populate the location field.
