Hi,
As we know we can easily dot-walk into the fields of a record appearing in a reference field. But what if we have to access the information
of related list attached to a record? Can we do that?

"Dot-walking references a field by building a chain of field names separated by dots (periods)"

Hello Danish,
For a related list, The short answer is No. You have to GlideRecord the target table and then fetch the info via script.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Pradeep,
We can GlideRecord the target table for existing values. Is there a way we can get the current value (which might be changed by the user) from the Parent table form (child table field on parent table form)?
Thanks,
Hussain

Do you know then how is this done? This is the SLA related list of a demand, As you can see, there's a dot walking from the task table... how is this done since there is no "show related fields"?
