how to get the display value of a sys id being used in an array

sohan_snow · ‎10-30-2017

Hi All,

I need to get the assignment group of a catalog task on the description. The below scripts is working except for printing the Display value of the Grouip

grpp=[];

for(i=0;i<grpp.length;i++)
{
var gr= new GlideRecord('sc_task');
gr.request_item=current.sys_id;
gr.short_description='bingo fullillment group is : ' +grpp[i].getDisplayValue(); // Using grpp[i].getDisplayValue(); returns undefined
gr.description='bingo - description of this RITM';
gr.assignment_group=grpp[i];
gr.insert();
}

Catalog tasks are getting created as intended

Thanks in advance

okay, seems WF is not using ArrayUtil();

try this...

function retGrpName(val){

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');

gr.addQuery('sys_id',val);

gr.query();

while (gr.next()) {

return gr.name;

}

},

gr.request_item=current.sys_id;

current.variables.dummy = grpp[i];

gr.short_description='bingo fullillment group is : ' + retGrpName(grpp[i]);

I tried that with this code (it's a script being executed by a document template that is being called by a UI action)

license = commerce_licenses.u_aero_travel_dept_commerce_license_country[i];
license_display = license.getDisplayValue();

If I print license, I see the sys_id. If I print license_display, I get undefined.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Shannon
