What is the purpose of getReference(). On my understand it's an API used in client side, to fetch real time data of a referenced record. I need more explanation and real time examples when to use this. And give some two to three examples with code if possible.

Hi @SRIRAMSANKAR007 

 

getReference() is used in Client Scripts to retrieve the full record referenced by a reference field, so you can access its other fields.
