Getting value of a choice field in Business rule

[sreevishnu]

Hi,

I am facing some issues in getting the value of choice field in the business rule, I tried using the getValue() and getDisplayValue() in the current object but I am not getting the value in the logs.

I have one separate table and I am using the field in the table using dot walking in the list layout, suppose I have an inciednt table and I have a secondary table called xyz and xyz has a choice field called program, I am dot walking the field program to the incident form using the list layout and I am trying to insert the value into the table xyz from a business rule when the incident form is submitted, in the same incident form I have 3 more reference fields which are coming from the table xyz, but I am getting the values of those reference fields in the business rule and its saving properly, only for this choice field I am not getting the value in the business rule.

Thanks in advance 🙂

did u try the below?

var category = current.getValue('category');

yes Harish, I have tried the getValue() and getDisplayValue(), both are returning null, I have tried to call it directly from the current object also like current.category, but it's returning an empty string.

can you share your script?

function onBefore(current, previous){

var update_ext = new GlideRecord('u_task_ext');
update_ext.initialize();
update_ext.u_task = current.sys_id;
update_ext.u_io_country = current.u_task_ext.u_io_country;
update_ext.u_program = current.u_task_ext.u_program;
update_ext.u_project = current.u_task_ext.u_project;

update_ext.u_client = current.getValue('u_task_ext.u_client'));

current.u_task_ext = update_ext.insert();

}

this is trying to insert the values into table u_task_ext and u_client is a dot walking field from the u_task_ext table itself. i am getting the value of country, program and project, but not getting the choice value.
