Setting default value on variable to user manager name

[goller]

Heya!

I'm trying to set the default value of a reference variable on a catalog item. The reference variable is referencing users with a certain role in our organization, leaders/managers have this role.

I've tried gs.getUser().getManagerID() but I get no value? I can confirm that the user has a manager.

Thanks,
goller

Hi @goller 

If you are doing this in scoped application it will not work.

Instead you can use below:

javascript: var loggedinManager; 
var gr=new GlideRecord("sys_user");
gr.get(gs.getUserID());
loggedinManager=gr.manager.toString();
loggedinManager;

Hope it helps

Thank you so much, this worked like a charm!

Hi,

You can try below:

gs.getUser().getRecord().getValue('manager')

This did not work, probably because I am in a scoped application as Murthy Ch mentioned.
