Dot walking from a reference field

[User163016]

Hi All,

I have a request item that is used for on boarding, in that item there is a field to list the employee's manager.   The manager field is a reference field that references the sys_user table.   I have an activity in my workflow that requires the manager's user name, I tried dot walking but that doesn't seem to pull the ID I need:

var mgrID = current.variables.manager.user_name;

I'm not sure why this isn't working but any help advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

I don't see any issues with the line that you have mentioned above

Can you try to run the code in background script and see if you are getting any errors like

org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: "RP" is not defined.

hi,

can you put log and see if you are getting proper sys_id while printing the manager value

If it is a approval related acitvity, use toString() while pushing the approval record in answer array.

current.variables.manager.toString();

Thanks all for your replies.

I put some logging into place and found that the my syntax is correct and pulling the manager's user name, it seems the problem might be within the powershell that is using that info.
