How to retrieve a value from a current record in Jelly script?

[xuan]

Hi all,

Basically, I need a UI macro to retrieve the value of a filed from the current record.

I tried the following jelly script, it returns null.

<g:evaluate var="jvar_test">
var val = ${ref}.test_field;
</g:evaluate>

I also tried this, it doesn't work.

<j:set var="jvar_test" value="${current.test_field}">

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Xuan,

Try:

<g:evaluate var="jvar_test">
          var val = current.test_field;

        val;
</g:evaluate>

Your variable will be passed on to the rest of the script as "jvar_test".

Note: If "test_field" is a reference and you are just passing the sys_id value, use "var val = current.test_field.toString();"

Thanks,

-Brian

Try below

<g2:evaluate var='jvar_id'>

          var val = current.getValue('caller_id');

		val;

</g2:evaluate>

$[jvar_id]   // will print the sysid of caller
