Get Display Value of Choice field in Client script

[Musab Rasheed]

Hello,

I have often seen this basic question about fetching display value of choice field so here is the working short solution.

If we use getValue it will show only backend value of Choice value but below code will display front end value of Choice.

function onLoad() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

   var storevalue = g_form.getValue('impact');
   var storedisplayvalue = g_form.getOption('impact',storevalue).text;
	alert(storedisplayvalue); //Alert to display when form loads
}

Please hit like if this solution helps.

Hi Musab,

The script did not work for me. I am receiving the error "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'text')"

Hi, @chaithu1489 .

Please try this script.

g_form.getOption('impact', storevalue).textContent;

This was really helpful. I was thinking to do GlideRecord sys choice but it would be too much given we need to add so many filter as sys_choice is huge. Thanks a lot. You saved me a lot of time. 

Kudos !!!!
