Do you want to set the same user whenever selects New Hire?

If yes go to user table and copy the sys_id of that user and copy the name of the user.

Ex:

g_form.setValue("subject_person","75826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5d2b","Fred Kunde"); value+displayValue

If its dynamic use Script Include.

Thanks,

Murthy

You just need to use

g_form.setValue('subject_person','sys_id');

Please mark answer correct/helpful based on impact

Hi there,

For reference fields, please apply the value AND displayValue. This is one of the most common performance scripting mistakes.

2020-10-19 setValue() reference fields/variables, use the value AND displayValue parameter

Kind regards,
