Using javascript to set up the default value of a field as the same as the value of that field in the parent task

[sonofliber1]

Hi, i want the default value of a field in a child task to be the same as the current value of that field in the parent task(so for example, in a change task for the field business_services, i want the default to be the parent ticket value of that field (in this case it would be the business_services field in the change request form)

Searching around it looks like it should be like this:

javascript:current.parent.business_service.getDisplayValue();

but its not working.

I have done it with client scripts sucessfully, but i want to try it with default value now.

You can try with Display BR with onLoad() client script if provided suggestion doesn't work.

Display BR on change_task table

var gr = new GlideRecord('change_request');
gr.get(current.change_request);
g_scratchpad.business_service = gr.business_service;

onLoad() client script on change_task table.

g_form.setValue('business_service', g_scratchpad.business_service);
