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

Manasa

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
