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 

did you try running script in background?

query 1 record from that table and try to print the display value

[Ankita Kolhe]

Yes @Ankur Bawiskar  , it's displaying display value from background script.

@Ankita Kolhe 

then it should work fine in your BR script as well

are you sure the record for which BR runs has "Choice value" (the display field) populate in those?

[Ankita Kolhe]

@Ankur Bawiskar  Yes , choice value has been already populated on all Entity Update table records.

I don't  have any idea what's the issue here. It should work fine .

I could see encryption is enabled for the List field i.e. groupings

Can you disable that and verify running the BR?
