Double dot walking is not working in catalog client script

[Brijmohan]

I am stuck on one issue in catalog client script. I have one variable that referring table A, and in table A there is another reference filed that referring table B, so I want to Auto populate table B data in my other variable. I have wrote one catalog client script but not working. For example i have below code--

g_form.getReference('variable_name', function (DataAsset)) {

    g_form.setValue('form_field_name', DataAsset.a_table_field_name.b_talbe_field_name);

}

When I have checked with alert function, it giving me undefined value.

Please help on this. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

In Client Script you can just do a single dot walking to do a multiple dot walking you need to write a GlideAjax and Script Include.

Double dot walk does not work in client script.

Also getReference is not best practise, use glide ajax, you can do any level  dot walk in script include as it is a server side script.
