Hi,

The code would not work if its used in client script,

then use:

g_form.getDisplayBox('field_name').value ; //the field needs to be a reference field..

In Server side script as current can only be used in Server Side Script:

var fake2='op'+current,u_fake.getDisplayValue();

Try to use gs.log(current,u_fake.getDisplayValue()) and see what value it is returning in order to proceed further.

there are multiple ways to get the reference field value.

• var fake2 = 'op' + ' ' +current.getDisplayValue('u_fake');
• var fake2 = 'op' + ' ' +current.u_fake.getDisplayValue();

both will work

9.4 getDisplayValue

public String getDisplayValue()

Retrieves the display value for the current record.

Returns:

String - a string display value for the current record.

Example:

// list will contain a series of display values separated by a comma // array will be a javascript array of display values 
var list = current.watch_list.getDisplayValue(); 
var array = list.split(","); 
for (var i=0; i < array.length; i++) 
{ 
gs.print("Display value is: " + array[i]); 
}
