Why is getReference returning undefined value?

[arnabbose]

Hi,

I am trying to alert a reference field (team_admin).

function onSubmit() {

var teamad1 = g_form.getReference('team_admin', setAdmin);

alert(teamad1.name);

Why do I get an undefined value as an alert out of this?

If that's all your code is, setAdmin being undefined is a likely culprit.

What is "setAdmin" referring to?

GlideForm (g form) - ServiceNow Wiki   <- here's the wiki reference for the functionality, btw.

Try this

function onSubmit() {

var teamad1 = g_form.getReference('team_admin', setAdmin);

function setAdmin(teamad1){

alert(teamad1.name);

}

}

Hi Abhinay,

This was in refernce to the question I had raised in another thread to which you replied...Help requested with onSubmit Client Script

Please can you look below and get the script fixed!!! (I hope you remember the logic )

function onSubmit() {

var dept1 = g_form.getReference('department', setAdmin);

var loc1 = g_form.getReference('location', setAdminn);

var dept2 = g_form.getReference('department_1', setSecAdmin);

var loc2 = g_form.getReference('location1', setSecAdminn);

var dept3 = g_form.getReference('department_2', setAdminThree);

var loc3 = g_form.getReference('location_2', setAdminThreee);

    if((loc1 != loc2 && dept1 != dept2 ) ||(loc1 != loc3 && dept1 != dept3 ))

  {

  alert("The team admins you are trying to add do not belong to same department and location");

  g_form.clearValue('team_admin_2');

  g_form.clearValue('team_admin_3');

        }

  else

  {      

  return true;

      }

}

  function setAdmin(dept1)

  {

        alert(" Inside 1st function");

  dept1 = dept1.name;

  alert("Department 1: " +dept1);

  }

  function setAdminn(loc1)

  {

  alert(" Inside 2nd function");

  loc1 = loc1.name;

  alert("Location 1: " +loc1);

  }

  function setSecAdmin(dept2)

  {

  alert(" Inside 3rd function");

  dept2 = dept2.name;

  alert("Department 2: " +dept2);

  }

function setSecAdminn(loc2)

  {

  alert(" Inside 4th function");

  loc2 = loc2.name;

  alert("Location 2: " +loc2);

  }

function setAdminThree(dept3)

  {

  alert(" Inside 4th function");

  dept3 = dept3.name;

  alert("Department 3: " +dept3);

  }

function setAdminThreee(loc3)

  {

  alert(" Inside 4th function");

  loc3 = loc3.name;

  alert("Location 3: " +loc3);

  }

It is returning all the values, just the comparison part I am stuck with...I am currently using...

if((loc1 != loc2 || loc1 != loc3 ) || (dept1 != dept2 || dept1 != dept3 ))

  {

  alert("The team admins you are trying to add do not belong to same department and location");

  g_form.clearValue('team_admin_2');

  g_form.clearValue('team_admin_3');

        }

  else

  {      

  return true;

      }
