Dot walk value showing sysID in client script

[chandan15]

In a record producer, when a KB is selected, article text/Article body is need to be populate . So I write a Onchange client script to populate article body.

Here we need Author name along with article body, but I am it is getting Author sys_ID instead of name

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }
    var cust = g_form.getReference('knowledge_piece', populate);
    function populate(cust) {
        g_form.setValue('knowledge_article', cust.author + "/n" + cust.text);
    }
}

If I am using "cust.author.getDisplayValue()" , I am getting error

If I am using "cust.author.toString()", still getting sys_ID

Anyone please help me how can I populate KB article Author name here !

HI @chandan15 

Try this

//Script Include:
var kbKnowledgeDetails = Class.create();
kbKnowledgeDetails.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
    getKnowledge: function() {
        var responseArray = [];
        var grKK = new GlideRecord('kb_knowledge');
        grKK.get(this.getParameter('sysparm_record'));
        var responseObj = {};
        responseObj.authorName = grKK.author.name.toString();
        responseObj.text = grKK.text.toString();
        return JSON.stringify(responseObj);
    },
    type: 'kbKnowledgeDetails'
});

//OnChange Client script on "knowledge_piece"
function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }	
    var gAjax = new GlideAjax('kbKnowledgeDetails');
    gAjax.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getKnowledge');
    gAjax.addParam('sysparm_record', newValue);
    gAjax.getXML(getKnowledge);

    function getKnowledge(response) {
        var ans = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
        var result = JSON.parse(ans);
        g_form.setValue('knowledge_article', result.authorName + '\n' + result.text);
    }
}
