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 🙂

update_ext.u_client = current.getValue('u_task_ext.u_client')); // two close braces here?

update_ext.u_client = current.getValue('u_task_ext.u_client'); //is this field a choice field?

[sreevishnu]

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

only one is there, i have removed the gs.log prefix to that and the closing bracket was for the gs.log. Yes the u_client in the u_task_ext table is a choice field.

you dont need to dot walk just use the below

update_ext.u_client = current.getValue('u_client')); //only reference fields can be dot walked. it is a choice field you dont need dotwalk and it will not work

No Luck still its returning Null

but i am using the dotwalking for the other reference fields and its working fine, only for choice its now working.

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;

all the above code are working as expected, only current.getValue('u_task_ext.u_client') or current.getValue('u_client'); is not working.
