Get user email id in catalog scripts

[Khanna Ji]

how can I get the email id of user in client scripts? I have checked g_user object but there is no method in it

[Kalaiarasan Pus]

I don't think g_user holds email ID of the user.

But you can use g_user.userID to get the sys id of the current user and query the sys_user table and get it.

Can you give me an example of this?

Let me ask you in another way.

I have form X and form Y. On form load of form X, I should get few column values of form Y. How?

An alternative would be to use the below in the default value column of variable definition.

javascript: gs.getUser().getEmail();

gs cannot be used in client scripts;

must create a script include and use that in client scripts
