How to set the value in read only string field?

[Akshaya14]

Hi All,

I have script include where I can get group type, group manager name in client script I am doing validation everything working fine from script include getting group manager name , I am trying to set the value in read only variable in alert it show the name but in variable it show empty.

notes: working fine in UI but in portal we face this issue

in script include:

userObj.grManagername = gr.manager.getDisplayValue();

in client script:

var name = userObj.grManagername;
alert("name :" + userObj.grManagername);
if (type == 'Security') {

//alert('inside security');

g_form.setValue('group_owner',name);

}

Thanks

@Akshaya14 Try setting the sys_id and display value for the reference variable and check.

g_form.setValue('field_name', 'sys_id', 'display_value');

#Example
g_form.setValue('location', '25ab9d720a0a0bb300793d3a6b891f82', '6304 Northwest Barry Road, Kansas City,MO');

HI @Akshaya14 

Can you share complete client script logic you tried.

@Akshaya14 

why are you making it readonly first?

first set the value and then make it readonly
