How do I populate a field like gs.getUserID() does?

Shane J · ‎02-20-2018

I'd like to build a Template to allow the auto-fill of Assignment Group from the User record, using a field called 'u_main_group' (similar to using javascript: gs.getUserID()). I've used Script Includes to limit options before, but never to populate a field like that.

How would I do that? Is that even the right approach?

You can use the default field to set the assignment group. In the default field set JavaScript: var u = new GlideRecord('sys_user'); u.get(gs.gerUserID());u.u_main_group;

With a minor typo fix, this does work:

javascript:var u = new GlideRecord('sys_user'); u.get(gs.getUserID());u.u_main_group;
