Using g_form.getValue for UI policy

Hello All,

I am using g_form.getValue to develop an UI policy in Change Management.

This is the simple code that i used to display form variable "Configuration Item". The actual field name is cmdb_ci

var ci_name = g_form.getValue('cmdb_ci');

  g_form.showFieldMsg('cmdb_ci',ci_name,'error');

Why is it displaying a lengthy reference value? How can i convert the reference value to just display as "denj******"?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Varun,



Here you go.


var ci_name = g_form.getDisplayBox('cmdb_ci').value;


  g_form.showFieldMsg('cmdb_ci',ci_name,'error');

chuck do you know whether g_form will be enhanced to align as we always have to workaround certain oddities and surely this negates any purpose of restricting the scope in first place??   we still get there 😉
