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

I could see edge encryption is enabled on this field.

Are you encrypting this field?

Is the Choice Value field which is marked as Display=true also edge encrypted?

If yes then this possibly won't work

Hello @Ankur Bawiskar ,

I removed the edge encryption attribute from Entity Update Grouping(s) field. Also, edge encryption is not enabled for Choice Value field. I tried creating a new record & still sys id is getting copied instead of display value.
