Hi,

I assume Location variable is referring to cmn_location table; so do this

javascript: gs.getUser().getLocation();

I assume Department variable is referring to cmn_department table; so do this

javascript: gs.getUser().getDepartmentID();

I assume Employee ID is string variable; so do this

javascript: gs.getUser().getRecord().getValue('employee_number');

@keval 

if user changes Requested For then you will have to write onChange client script on Requested for and get the other variable details and populate it.

you can use getReference() with callback method to do this

Example below:

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

	if(newValue == ''){
		g_form.clearValue('location');	// location variable name here
	}

	var ref = g_form.getReference('requested_for', callBackMethod);	// requestedFor variable name
}

function callBackMethod(ref){
	if(ref.location)
		g_form.setValue('location', ref.location); // location variable name here
}

Hi Ankur,

The Department field is displayed properly by your help

but Location and Employee Id are still not display

Location variable is referring to cmn_location table and  Employee ID is string variable

then it should work fine.

did you check you are using correct field name for employee_number and user has that employee number populated.

also location is empty or not for that user in user table?
