Get display value of reference in service portal widget

[asukumar]

Hi all,

I have a service portal widget with a reference field in the options schema that points to the Survey Questions table.

I want to get the display value of the question that is selected. options.question just returns the sysid of the question. I already tried options.question.getDisplayValue() and it doesn't work.

Any thoughts?

Can you share the server code for your widget?

[asukumar]

// SERVER
(function() {

data.question = options.question;

})();

// CLIENT

function() {              

var c = this;

// Display the questions from the options

$("#ques").html(c.data.question);

}

And you tried this and got a sys_id?

(function() {

data.question = options.question.getDisplayValue();

})();

What does it show in the HTML when you use:

{{c.data.question}}

The first one does not display anything, and the second one shows the sysid.
