Reference Field in ACL Script

[John Spirko]

I have a custom reference field called Dept.   It's in the incident table as u_dept.   It references that user_group table.   I have 2 records that have data in that field.

I'm trying to get the text vale from that field so I can use it in my ACL script.   I've tried to access it with all that is in the screenshot below but I can't seem to retrieve the value.

Can anyone tell me how I can get the value of "Dept"(u_dept) into a string?

Hello John,

getDisplayBox only works at client side. At server side use current.u_dept.getDisplayValue();

I think the question is only on how to get the value of field in script. No?

[John Spirko]

Yes, that's right.   I don't have any requirements to limit view at the field level.
