Dot Walking multiple levels using getReference.

[HrishabhKumar]

Can we dot walk more that 1 level using getReference in Client Script.

In my case I'm not able to do that, it is returning "undefined".

g_form.getReference('caller_id').manager.email

g_form.getReference('caller_id').department.name

Question:

1) Can we dot walk more that 1 level in getReference?

2) If yes, then how so? because in my case I'm getting undefined.

Hi @HrishabhKumar 

You are unable to dot-walk further than just the field on the table you getting the reference from.

Any further dot-walking would instead need to be done through GlideAjax and then passed back to the client.

Hi,

Let me know if I can help answer any question you may have?

I did provide the answer here last week and I believe it's been answered a couple of times in other posts, but if you still have any questions about getReference() or any other client-side to server-side scripting, let me know.

Thanks!
