Hi Ramesh,
Reference field will always return sys_id. Can you confirm what exactly is your need & detail out the complete scenario for better assistance.

Hi Jaspal, thanks for your quick response.
Using client scripts
I have reference examples below....., if I get any solution with this that would be appreciated.
If I capture the family name from Family fields and Level from Level fields, both field record needs to auto-populate in the Role number field and Prefix from Family and the Family Level both field record need to auto-populate in the Family code field.
