How to get record type

[gmbroth]

Hi. I recently wrote a snippet of server-side Javascript to test for a specific record type by doing something like this:

if (current.aPropertyDefinedInMyExtensionTable) { ... }

While it works for my purposes I got to wondering if there's a better (or more canonical) ServiceNow approach to doing this? Thanks.

Garry,

Can you tell what exactly you want to check? There might be some inbuilt function for this

current.sys_class_name

Garry,

Try

current.getTableName()

For cmdb_ci the value is carried in a field.   That's when you can use current.sys_class_name

hope this helps

I would look at the TableUtils methods, there is a lot of information you can get about a table with these methods.
