Hi,

Please reference this post which asks the same question: https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=6a3e87eddb9cdbc01dcaf3231f96... and contains use cases, etc.

Essentially, once is utilizing a field on a table to retrieve that information whereas the other is calling a function...to then go and get it. So it's advisable to use the field versus calling a separate function to go and retrieve it if it exists (i.e. only exists on tables extended from Task).

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!
