Why can't I get the Value of my True/False field

[Stacy1]

I have a true/false field.  I need to see the value so I can do an If script when it is true.

If I do:  var ip = g_form.getValue('u_ip'); 

The alert is blank.

If I do  var ip = g_form.getBoolenValue('u_ip');

The alert returns false regardless of it being true or false.

I can't do display value because that gives me the Case Number.

Any magic I am missing.  

Thanks,

Stacy

This link may help you. Sometimes with ServiceNow the string of true/false can be returned instead of the boolean value

is your Boolean field is present on the form section??

Hi, var ip = g_form.getValue('u_ip'); would appear to be correct sytax,
and an alert shoudl be failry striaght forward.

From the client\form side true\false will be 'text' not actually bool, so if you are validating a value you would need something like (newValue == 'true')

Perhaps you can share your script so that we can see the context of your issue?

This is a simple onLoad script to display an alert if this value is true.

function onLoad() {
    var ip = g_form.getValue('u_ip');
    alert(ip);

    if (ip == 'true') {
        alert("Hello World");
    }

}
