In user form there is field called cost center that value needs to be populate in the field.

Hi @suuriya ,

Go through this thread and you should be able to write a similar script for autopopulating cost center from the required table.

HI @Sonam_Tiwari ,

Thanks for the reply i checked but all are based on onchange script but i need to populate cost center of the  logged in user and not based on changing value of the field.

i tried something like this in default value  of the cost centre field/variable

javascript:gs.getUserID().u_cost_center();

but it is not working

Hi,

You can use it like:

gs.getUser().getRecord().getValue('u_cost_center'));  // u_cost_center is backend field name

[Sonam_Tiwari · Accepted solution]

Can you try below

javascript:gs.getUser().getRecord().getDisplayValue('u_cost_center');

Please note that getValue will give you sys id of the cost center so if you want the display value, use getDisplayValue() instead.

also in above reponse of yours to get record you should not dot walk with .getUserID(), that is to return the sysID of logged in user specifically.

Hope that helps.
