Let's say you are using a business rule on a table that has a 'user' field that points to sys_user.

var sys_id = current.getValue('user');

Hi @paradise623 ,

Could you please share some screenshot to understand it better? Thanks

Hi there,

You could have a look in the XML, when you have the record open > Additional actions > Show XML. Or you could also use the SNUtils trick, double click on the label of the field, and in a popup the value will be shown, in case of reference field it would show you the sys_id.

Hi @paradise623 ,

Please note that you need to go to the specific table and open the record for where the sysid is stored. A field in a table e.g. incident priority doesn't have a sysid within the incident table. 

If my answer has helped with your question, please mark my answer as accepted solution and give a thumb up.
