How to get display name of users from watch list field using glide form class.

[SK Verma]

1 :- When i am trying to get the value from watchlist field using "getValue()" method. It is giving me the ' sys_id' of the users.

2:- When i am trying to get the user's details using the "getReference()" method. It is not giving me the desired result.

I am trying to get the marked values.

Please help.

Hey @SK Verma ,

If you want to get the names like 'abel tutuer' from watch list then you need to use like below.

var gr = new GlideRecord('incident')
gr.addQuery('number', 'INC0000018')
gr.query()
if (gr.next())
    gs.info(gr.watch_list.getDisplayValue())

It will give all the user names which are on incident so output will look this

Adam Scott, Rock Helmet, Abel Tuter, Mike Mentzer

Thanks,

Hi @SK Verma ,

Getreference method should be avoided as per best practices so dont use it - Try getDisplayValue() method.
