Why getDisplayValue() displaying sys_id instead of value for glide list type field?

[Ankita Kolhe]

Hi Community,

I have a glide list type field and I want to copy display value of that field to another field of string type.

I created a before- insert/update Business rule for the same with below code:

current.field1=current.field2.getDisplayValue();

gs.addInfoMessage(current.field1);

The above info message is displaying sys id instead of value.

Please someone help on this.

Thanks

@Ankita Kolhe 

are you in scoped app or global scope?

also the field2 referring to table has some field marked as Display=true?

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar ,

It's scoped app & display value is false for field2.

then try this

current.field1=current.getDisplayValue('field2');
