Hi,

Can you change it as below and see if it works?

var frompcowner = g_form.getValue('from_pc_owner');
var remotepcowner = g_form.getValue('remote_pc_owner');
if(frompcowner  == remotepcowner ){
  //Set to Yes 
}else{
 //Set to No
}

You dont need to do a getReference for getting the sys_id. The id is directly stored as value in reference fields.

Thanks!

I would go with Alikutty's solution of using getValue instead of getReference. getValue will give you the sys_id of the record in the variable whereas getReference actually does a server roundtrip and grabs the referenced record.

Thank you, it worked! I thought that since the variables are Reference type, I have to use getReference.

Hi,

if those are reference fields then no need to use getReference(); update code as below

if(g_form.getValue('from_pc_owner') == g_form.getValue('remote_pc_owner')){

}

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks
