How to get the loggedin user location as default in scoped app

[rahul16]

I have a form in the scoped app. 

The requested for field gets auto-populated when I use this in the default field 

But for the location field it is not working 

what is wrong with the javascript code

Hi @rahul16 ,

gs.getUser().getLocation(); should fetch you with the correct location details.

Check if the user(rahul p) which you are referring has "Location" in it's user record.

yes it has a location I created the form in the scoped app not global app does it work only on global

HI @rahul16 ,

Just like gs.getUser().getDepartmentID() , for Location also , i don't think it works for Scoped App and gs.getUser().getLocation(); would work for Global Scope.

For scoped App, you will require a custom a custom Table to store the location, then you can refer it.

Hi @rahul16 

Yes it will only work in global application. It won't work for scoped application.

SO, please try below logic in default value field:

javascript: var loc; var gr=new GlideRecord("sys_user"); gr.addQuery("sys_id",gs.getUserID()); gr.query(); if(gr.next()) { loc=gr.location;} loc;

See  below screenshot for your reference:

Hope it helps..
