Can I use dot walking in a UI Action condition?

[David165]

Hi All

I've a use case where I want a user to be able to perform a UI Action on a record if that user created the parent of that record.

In my UI Action condition I have the code:

current.u_parent_statement.sys_created_by == gs.getUserName();

Which isn't working - the UI action is available whoever the user is. (u_parent_statement is a Reference to the parent record);

This code:

current.sys_created_by == gs.getUserName();

does work, but doesn't satisfy the use case.

I'm assuming that the dot walk isn't working. Do I need to create a script include function to call from the condition instead?

Regards

David

Hi David,

Considering u_parent_statement is a reference field can you try something as below.

current.u_parent_statement.getRefRecord().sys_created_by==gs.getUserName();
