Re: Sys_id to string value.

salvadormar · ‎09-24-2014

Try this:

var name = g_form.getReference('application_name').fieldname;

...where 'fieldname' is the field name of the User table where the name of the person is stored.

also, 'name' is widely used...I recommend 'myName' instead.

OR....try this:

var myName = g_form.getDisplayValue('application_name');

g_form.setValue('appowner', myName );

Thanks! I used the below code to copy list collector values to a text box in order to include the variable in my flow designer email.

var myName = g_form.getDisplayValue('application_name');

g_form.setValue('appowner', myName );

Hi Chad,

if appowner is a reference field to the sys_user field then it will work as expected, else you will have to extract the user name from this name.u_appowner in the same was as you extracted u_appowner from application_name, ie using getReference.

a better approach will be that you pass application_name to a script include using glideajax and there you can directly extract the u_appowner and get the display value of u_appowner by using .getDisplayValue().
