Get reference field value

sigmachiuta · ‎07-30-2015

I am trying to compare to see if the opened by and assigned to fields are the same in a client script. I keep getting the sysid of the fields and it doesnt seem like the comparison is correct. HOw can I compare these two values?

var open = g_form.getReference('opened_by')
var assigned = g_form.getReference('assigned_to')
if (newValue == 3 && open == assigned)

alert('success')

Hi,

Try the below script if you just want to compare the display names.

var caler = g_form.getDisplayBox('caller_id').value;


var assig = g_form.getDisplayBox('assigned_to').value;


if(caler == assig)


{


alert('in');


}

Just one more question. Do you know of a machine powerful enough to extract my head from my behind? I thought getValue got the display value of whatever was in the field.

Hello sigmashiuta,

use the following: name_of_your_field.getDisplayValue(). See the following link uses a the sys_id of an incident into a gliderecord to show its display value using getDisplayValue. Here is the link for that: Link.

Please mark my answer correct or helpful if it helps you.

Kind regards
