How to get two reference field in client script?

Hi all,

For example, A and B are reference fields of incident. I want to compare A.a and B.b in client script, how can I do that?

I know g_form.getReference() but looks like only one reference field can be fetched.

 

Regerds,
Eric

Hi,

Assuming you want to compare some other fields based on the reference field of A and B, you can do liek this.

var a = g_form.getReference("A"); //put correct field names

var b = g_form.getReference("B"); //put correct field names

if(a.your_field == b.your_field) {

//do something.

}

Hi,

Assuming you want to compare if same users are selected in both the fields

you can use this logic

var a = g_form.getValue('field A');

var b = g_form.getValue('field B');

if(a==b){

alert('both users are same');

}

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
   
return;
   }

   var lm=g_form.getReference('line_manager');
    var dm=g_form.getReference('director_approval');
   var gm=g_form.getReference('general_approval');

   if(lm.employee_number == dm.employee_number || lm.employee_number==gm.employee_number || dm.employee_number==gm.employee_number){
   g_form.clearValue('line_manager');
    g_form.clearValue('director_approval');
      g_form.clearValue('general_approvals');
   }   
}

Hi Phonexi,

Its working fine for me If you use g_form.getReference in two fields :

client scritp:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
   if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
      return;
   }

	var a = g_form.getReference('caller_id');
	var b = a.email;
	var c = g_form.getReference('assigned_to')
	var d = c.name;
	alert('caller email '+b + '   Assigned to name '+ d);

//if(a.email == c.email)  use any condition
	
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   
}

You can compare with both the values:
