How to get field type on server side(business rule)?

Pallavi12 · ‎07-02-2018

Can anyone please suggest me inside for loop in place of "field name" what can be use so that i can get value of glideElement.

for(var x in current)

{

var glideElement = recObj.getElement("field name");

var descriptor = glideElement.getED();

var result = descriptor.getInternalType();

}

Not sure what you are trying to do. It appears as if you want all field types on a given record. Looking at your script recObj is not defined, so I used current. I also found that the sys_meta field causes the glideElement.getED() method to not work. Taking those into account, here is a script that will give you the field names and types for each field in the current record:

var fArray = [];
for (var x in current) {
    if (x != 'sys_meta') {
        fArray.push(x);
    }
}

for (var f = 0; f < fArray.length; f++) {
gs.print('Field: ' + fArray[f]);
    var glideElement = current.getElement(fArray[f]);
    var descriptor = glideElement.getED();
    var result = descriptor.getInternalType();
gs.print('Type: ' + result);
}

Feel free to modify it for your use.

Hi, Tried this one working for me.

var recObj=new GlideRecord('incident');
recObj.query();

while(recObj.next()){

var glideElement = recObj.getElement("caller_id");

gs.print(glideElement.getDisplayValue());

}

for your query replace the field name with any field value.

Thanks,Naveen
