[object GlideRecord] instead of record sys_id

[Lon Landry4]

Howdy Community,

The below script returns User is [object GlideRecord] instead of a sys_id.

I can create log messages that verify the current.variables.n_user below.

The variable is of the string type from a single line text field.

`Tried adding .sys_id in various places, creating other variables that are dot walked, & getRefRecord.

But, log messages reveal value is [object GlideRecord] instead of a sys_id.

Any ideas how to make this work?

var rqstdFor = current.variables.n_user;
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
gr.addQuery('sys_id',rqstdFor.sys_id);
gr.query();
gs.addInfoMessage('User is '+gr);

Also tried

var rqstdFor = current.variables.n_user;
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
gr.addQuery('sys_id',rqstdFor);
gr.query();
gs.addInfoMessage('User is '+gr);

Hi @Lon Landry4 

if you refer to your code line:

gs.addInfoMessage('User is '+gr);

then yes, the output is correct as gr is an object.

You have to change it to 

gs.addInfoMessage('User is '+gr.getValue('sys_id'));

if you want to see any sys_id
