How to populate manager name on request form?

[chrish5]

I have the below onLoad catalog client script to populate fields on my request form.   The "Name' field is populating fine, but the manager field where I'm trying to just pull in their name is not and looks like this.   What am I doing wrong?  

function onLoad() {
var reqf = g_form.getReference('requested_for',getInfo);
}
function getInfo(reqf)
{
g_form.setValue('name', reqf.name);
g_form.setValue('manager', reqf.manager.name);
g_form.setValue('department', reqf.department);
}

Dot walking doesn't work on the client script. Use GlideAjax instead.

@chrish5 You can update the manager variable default value as below.

Hi Chrish,

As suggested in comments before you need to use GlideAjax & Client Script to make it work. Or if you wish to use the existing code that you use, you can try to use something as below & change the variable type for Manager to Reference instead of String field.

function onLoad() {
var reqf = g_form.getReference('requested_for',getInfo);
}
function getInfo(reqf)
{
g_form.setValue('name', reqf.name);
g_form.setValue('manager', reqf.manager);
g_form.setValue('department', reqf.department);
}
