Hi @abhisekransingh 

Client GlideRecord object does not support getDisplayValue() function... It would only be supported when it runs on gliderecord object at server side.

Hi @abhisekransingh ,

use this:

(g_form.getDisplayBox('u_student').value);

[abhisekransingh]

@Community Alums both getDisplayBox() and getDisplayValue()  both are not working ,Even both are not showing in code suggestion.

Hi @abhisekransingh 

Please use below code to get the value, it works only your field type is reference.

Here I am taking an example called field on incident form,

var student = g_form.getReference('caller_id');

alert('student.user_name');

Please replace caller_id with your field name

Please mark it as correct/helpful If it works for you.

Thanks,
