Using g_form.getValue for UI policy

[VarunArulmani]

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.

This one has always bothered me - to make it doubly so, it's not even documented!

I WANT A getDisplayValue() METHOD FOR g_form! Who's with me?!!!

We could make one with a UI Script and our friend Prototyping.
