Hi,

 

Is it possible to send display value in POST table API rather than sending the SysID for the reference fields?

Hi
no it is not possible as the display value might not be unique and thus ServiceNow would not know which record to take. Only SysIDs are unique and can address a record correctly.

Here it will ask to enter the SysID of Assignment group and Assigned To rather I need to send the display value for Assignment group and Assigned To
