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

it should work ideally

Did you try querying few records from this table and use getDisplayValue() function to see what it returns?

No, this table don't have any reference type field.
