Get display name of group field printed on alert

[manasa0590]

hey,

I have a field on the form " assignment group" referring to group table. I want to check whether the logged in user is member of any groups and print the group names as an alert message . Currently I get sys_ids of the groups when i print. But i want the group names printed. Please let me know what I should code to get the names instead of sys_ids.

Thanks

Hi @manasa0590 ,

If you are using Glide Record, then just use getDisplayValue()

The below code snippet is just for example.

var current = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
current.addQuery('user', '<login user sys_id>');
current.query();
var userGrp = ""; // store names in string
var userGrp1 = []; // store names is array
while(current.next()){
    userGrp += current.group.getDisplayValue() + ",";
    userGrp1.push(current.group.getDisplayValue());
}
gs.info("Group names in string = " + userGrp);
gs.info("Group names in array = " + userGrp1)

Output will be something like

I could see you marked response as correct.

But your question was about getting display value in client side which I shared above

[manasa0590]

this is in continuation to the requirement. Should i need to raise a fresh question as this is marked answered already?

Thank you Ankur. 

I need one more help. We have group names in the below formats.

1. India-BDC10-Duty manager

2. India-CHE09- Duty engineer

4. India-HYD12- Duty manager ....

Group names with prefix "India-".

I will get group names as return from script include to client script

From the list of group names (user is a member of) , I want to fetch the BDC10,CHE09,HYD12 only. i.e anything after the first hyphen and before the second hyphen.

and then set those values as choices(drop down) for a field on the form. How to do this. Please help.

Thank you,

Manasa

Hi Omkar,

 I created the script include and added this logic in there , it worked. Thank you.

Hello @manasa0590 where ever you are printing the value in the alert or where you are trying to access the value of the group name just put .getDisplayValue();

like gr.group.getDisplayValue();

Hope this helps
