Please help with populating assigned to field with Catalog Client Script

[Meera_P]

Hello,

Please help with populating assigned to field with login user name when form is loading.

I have tried the following script, but was not successful.  Please help.  Thank you

function onLoad() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   var loginName = g_user.firstName+' '+g_user.lastName;
   g_form.setValue('Assigned_to', loginName);
   
}

If you're referring to the Assigned to field on the task table (or incident, problem, change, requested item, ...) the field name is assigned_to, and it requires a sys_id for its value, so your script would look more like this:

function onLoad() {
    g_form.setValue('assigned_to', g_user.userID);
}
