g_form.getReference not working for list reference field when dot walked

[Imran1]

Hi All,

I have a list reference field (referencing to contract table) and I need to set values in another field called approvers basis on contract that someone selects; for example if a person selects contract a, contract b. I need to set the approver as x & y and if a person selects contract d, contract e. I need to set the approvers as A&B etc.

For doing this I am using an on-change client script and calling the getReference() method

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {

var suppliers  = g_form.getReference('contract', doAlert);
}

function doAlert(caller) { // reference is passed into callback as first arguments
if (caller.supplier) // here I am dot walking to the supplier field within the contract table
g_form.setValue('internal_use', caller.supplier);
var rel = g_form.getValue('internal_use');
g_form.addErrorMessage(rel);
}

if (suppliers.indexOf('HAA') > -1) {
g_form.setValue('approvers', '10a694bfdbd85410d3edf5f51d9619ac,6043e934db429810aec35665dc96193f');
}
if (suppliers.indexOf('ABC') > -1 || suppliers.indexOf('Enter') > -1) {
g_form.setValue('approvers', '8126d0bfdbd85410d3edf5f51d96197b,494e240ddb0590101fedff461d961982');
}

This script doesn't seem to work even the addError message doesn't through any error

Not sure if I am doing rightly, basically I need to get the value of another field from the reference field table and basis on that I need to set the approvers

Any help is highly appreciated. Could you please try it in your instance within client script 

Regards,
Imran

Hi Imran,

Can you try below.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {

var suppliers  = g_form.getReference('contract', doAlert);

function doAlert(suppliers) {
var rel=suppliers.supplier;
alert('Supplier is '+suppliers.supplier); //if supplier is reference it will return sys_id

if (rel.indexOf('HAA') > -1) {
g_form.setValue('approvers', '10a694bfdbd85410d3edf5f51d9619ac,6043e934db429810aec35665dc96193f');
}
else if (rel.indexOf('ABC') > -1 || suppliers.indexOf('Enter') > -1) {
g_form.setValue('approvers', '8126d0bfdbd85410d3edf5f51d96197b,494e240ddb0590101fedff461d961982');
}
}
}

Hi Jaspal,

Thank You for modifying the script, I created a new client script utilizing the code snippet you shared, I disabled the old one I had. It doesn't seem to work nor I get any alerts
