Updating Reference Field

[kailashthiyagar]

I would like to update a reference field but the value is not getting saved. Here md5hash is a reference field. And the value which I m assigning is not a sysid but it's the actual MD5hash value of sample file. Reference is not getting added to the table. I tried updating other columns inside the while loop and it works fine.

I tried few other things but nothing worked

1. macFileNameRec.md5hash='sysid'
2. macFileNameRec.md5hash.setDisplayValue(''4E93C1EA01B65497AEB9BA0C7F7457AA');

                              var macFileNameRec=new GlideRecord('x_opt_macro_govern_macro_file_names');

                                                              macFileNameRec.addQuery('file_name',fileName);

                                                              macFileNameRec.query();

                                                              if(macFileNameRec.hasNext()){

                                                                                              while(macFileNameRec.next()){

                                                                                                                              macFileNameRec.md5hash='4E93C1EA01B65497AEB9BA0C7F7457AA';

                                                                                                                              macFileNameRec.update();

                                                                                              }

                                                              }

Hello Kailash,

Try with macFileNameRec.setDisplayValue('md5hash', '4E93C1EA01B65497AEB9BA0C7F7457AA'); //Assuming 4E93C1EA01B65497AEB9BA0C7F7457AA refers to the field display value

It sounds like setDisplayValue s not allowed in custom scope. its not working

Function setDisplayValue is not allowed in scope x_opt_macro_govern
