Catalog Item lookup and display read only information about a user

Hi All,

This is probably quite simple but I cant seem to figure it out.

I have a use case for a service catalog/service portal item. When the form loads is will be blank as pictured and when the person selects a user in the employee name field I want the read only fields to display the data about the employee. If the user changes the value in the employee name field then I want the read only data to instantly change to the newly selected employee's information. I hope the screenshot and help annotations assist to describe what I trying to do.

The employee name field is a reference field to the sys_user table and the other two are single line of text fields should they be reference fields too?

Hi Phil, I think you can switch it to the reference field (read only) and set those dynamic values via reference qualifier.

Hi Pradeep,

I think your solution might return an array or multiple options, I am looking to populate those fields with static values already in the other tables. I have managed to get it to work on the location field so far by using a Catalog Client Script as per below but now I am stuck on getting the Division to do the same thing. PS I did change both fields to be reference fields now and both of them reference the location cmn_location table. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Pradeep,

Can you explain a bit more about your suggestion, I am new at Service Now and trying to learn.

Thanks Phil
