${field_name} outputs the display value of that field

sysapproval.sys_class_name outputs the actual value of the field

Hi Praveen,

${sysapproval.sys_class_name} : prints the table name i.e sc_req_item

${sysapproval} : prints the field display value

You can dot-walking to get the fields of the reference table like ${sysapproval.number} //will give number of the requested item.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Can I also get Display Value here ? I understand gs.addInfoMessage(current.cmdb_ci.sys_class_name); will return CI class name for instance cmdb_ci_unix. I want to pull out the display value here i.e Unix. Is it possible ?

Hi Praveen,

When you mark a table as extendable, you are also adding a second system field: Class [sys_class_name]--System Class Name.

It contains the name of the table that the record represents.

The sys_id field uniquely identifies a record. In the case of an extended table, the sys_id field is actually stored in two places: on both the parent and child tables. The platform joins both together whenever you query the child table and the field sys_class_name is added on the parent table.

In other words,   sys_class_name can be defined as: If the table is extensible, a string field that indicates which child table contains the record.

Thanks,
