AngularJS convert String to Array

Hello All,

I am accessing some data from a table in a service portal widget. One of the fields being returned is a string field that contains the following data:

ACS_ADMIN_USER, CUST_ESIGN_URL, SALES_USER, RETAIL

In this field there are 4 'Roles' that are comma separated. 

I want the portal widget to display this field as:

ACS_ADMIN_USER

CUST_ESIGN_URL

SALES_USER

RETAIL

I would like to do this without any modification on the field itself as this data is used elsewhere.

Is there an easy way to achieve this? This is being displayed on the widget using: {{data.string.u_role}}

This is the Server Script that gets the data:

var Role = GlideRecord('u_services_roles_users');
Role.get(locSysId);
data.string = {};
$sp.getRecordDisplayValues(data.string, Role, 'u_role');

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Harry

What you're looking for is the JavaScript "split" method.

var array = data.string.u_role.split(", ");

Is there a reason you're using getRecordDisplayValues() instead of getDisplayValue() since you're only getting a single field. It's also confusing because you're setting "data.string" to an object and not a string.
