Unexpected value in g_form.getDisplayValue client script onLoad

onLoad client script on Incident table. Functionality was intended to be: Check status and display message accordingly. Was not working as expected, so I added messages 1 and 2.

function onLoad() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
if (g_form.getDisplayValue('u_contractor_incident_no') > 0) {

	if (g_form.getDisplayValue('u_contractor_status') == '2') {
	g_form.addErrorMessage('Contractor Incident Complete. No further updates will be received.');
	}
	else if (g_form.getDisplayValue('u_contractor_status') == '3') {
		g_form.addErrorMessage('Contractor Incident Closed. No further updates will be received.');
	}
	else if (g_form.getDisplayValue('u_contractor_status') == '4') {
		g_form.addErrorMessage('Contractor Incident Cancelled. No further updates will be received.');
	}
	else if (g_form.getDisplayValue('u_contractor_status') == '10') {
		g_form.addErrorMessage('Contractor Incident Returned. No further updates will be received.');
	}
	else{}
	g_form.addErrorMessage('1. Contractor Status is ' + g_form.getDisplayValue('u_contractor_status'));
}
else {
	g_form.addErrorMessage('2. Contractor Incident number is ' + g_form.getDisplayValue('u_contractor_incident_no'));
}
}

 

Message #2 is now displaying, but the message reads "2. Contractor Incident number is INC000999999", and is the currently displayed Incident number, rather than the field specified. Am I somehow making a reference to the 'number' field, and not realizing it? I verified that the 'u_contractor_incident_no' is not the same value as the local Incident number.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

This is strange. I'm out of ideas, but maybe try simply using g_form.getValue('u_contractor_incident_no');

What happens when you do something like this:

var no = g_form.getDisplayValue('u_contractor_incident_no');

if (no.length > 0) {

 

function onLoad() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

var sts = g_form.getDisplayValue('u_contractor_status');
var no = g_form.getDisplayValue('u_contractor_incident_no');

if (no > 0) {

	if (sts == '2') {
	g_form.addErrorMessage('Contractor Incident Complete. No further updates will be received.');
	}
	else if (sts == '3') {
		g_form.addErrorMessage('Contractor Incident Closed. No further updates will be received.');
	}
	else if (sts == '4') {
		g_form.addErrorMessage('Contractor Incident Cancelled. No further updates will be received.');
	}
	else if (sts == '10') {
		g_form.addErrorMessage('Contractor Incident Returned. No further updates will be received.');
	}
	else{}
	g_form.addErrorMessage('1. Contractor Status is ' + sts);
}
else {
	g_form.addErrorMessage('2. Contractor Incident number is ' + no);
}
}

I changed both to variables. Same result.

If there were another Client Script running, with "Global" checked, that happened to use the same variable, could mine pick that value up?

Maybe this will help: I moved messages 1&2 together at the end. BOTH variables come back as the current incident number.
