Modify Parent breadcrumb (Formatter)

[vidhya_mouli]

In my parent breadcrumb, right now it displays only the number field.

pc.setLabelField("number");

I need to modify my Macro to display both the number field and first 15 characters of the short description.

Format: "<Number>:<15 first characters of Short Description>..."

How can I get it done?

Hi @vidhya_mouli ,

You can modify your macro to concatenate the "number" field and the first 15 characters of the "short_description" field using the following syntax:

pc.setLabel("<number>:" + current.short_description.slice(0, 15));

This code uses the JavaScript string concatenation operator + to combine the "number" field and the first 15 characters of the "short_description" field. The slice() method is used to extract the first 15 characters of the "short_description" field.

Note that you will need to replace the word "number" with the actual name of the number field in your ServiceNow instance. Additionally, assuming that the current variable is in scope and refers to the current record being displayed in the breadcrumb.

It is still not working. I am sharing my full code. Can you help me to modify this code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
    <j2:if test="$[!${ref_parent}.isNewRecord() ${AND} !${ref_parent}.parent.nil() ${AND} ${ref_parent}.parent.getRefRecord().isValidRecord()]">
        <g2:evaluate var="jvar_crumbs">
            //get real glide record
            var gr = new GlideRecord(${ref_parent}.getTableName());
            gr.get(${ref_parent}.getUniqueValue());

            //parent crumb functions - script include
            var pc = new ParentCrumbs(gr);
			//pc.setLabelField("number");
			pc.setLabelField(current.number + ":" + current.short_description.slice(0, 15));
			
            var crumbs = pc.getCrumbs();
            crumbs;

        </g2:evaluate>
        <j2:if test="$[!jvar_crumbs.nil()]">
            <td class="breadcrumb_container">
				<div style="overflow: visible">

            </td>
        </j2:if>
    </j2:if>
</j:jelly>

Hi @vidhya_mouli ,

You need to modify the following line of code 

pc.setLabelField(current.number + ":" + current.short_description.slice(0, 15));  to pc.setLabel(current.number + ":" + current.short_description.slice(0, 15) + "...");

I tried, but for some reason I am able to see the display only when I use setLableField. The display does not work for setLable.
