Hello All,
This seems so easy on the surface but I have been unable to copy one Reference Field to another ( even the Eureka Actions tab doesnt let you do this when creating a business rule). I have one reference field ( Approval For) that has a value in it. I can pull the value and even display it as message. However I can not populate this value into another reference field ( Change Number) leaving me to have to type it in. Both fields reference the the Change task list, I would love it if someone could show us very simply how to extract from field A and input into field B. I know reference fields rely on things like Display Values and sys_ids. I have tried every combination of methods and tried using getDisplayValue()); to get the original Value and g_form.setValue to as well as scowering the wiki /community . Thank you in Advance, there are many applications for why anyone would need to do this , this is just one of them.
BR - After, on insert or update of approval form
findChange();
function findChange() {
var ri = new GlideRecord("sysapproval_approver");
ri.get('sys_id', current.sysapproval);
//this does display the correct value when I save the form.
gs.addInfoMessage(current.sysapproval.getDisplayValue());
// trying to get an acceptable value for which I can pass into set the destination field , this is unsuccessfull
var change = current.sysapproval.getDisplayValue();
g_form.setValue( 'u_change', change);
}
