How to Parse Document ID Field?

[Binh Truong2]

Hello world!

We have a document ID type field named "Trigger ID". This field is auto populated by the system which concatenates the related table and number. I need to find a way to parse out only the number (highlighted in yellow) so i can use to copy onto a new reference field on the same form. Any idears? Thanks

HI Binh,

reference field accepts Sys_id's so, You can do a simple assignment and that should work.

gr.u_target_refereence_field=gr.u_target_id;

Confirmed pulling the sys_id of the document ID worked.

If you want just the number value, do something like this (business rule example)

var display = current.u_trigger_id.getDisplayValue();

var number = display.split(' ')[1];
