How can I populate a variable in my form with the manager of a particular group?

[Aditya Sinha]

I have a variable which needs to be populated with the manager of a particular group as soon as the form loads. Any idea how I can attain this functionality?

Hello @Aditya Sinha,

Did the snap or the BR help you in any way? If not, let me the issue you are facing so that I'll help accordingly.

Hi @Shruti Khaire .  I am using the onload script to set the value of the field. please let me know the issue in this as it ain't working.

Script

function onLoad() {

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

   var gr=new GlideRecord("sys_user_group");

   gr.addQuery("name","name of the group whose manager is needed");  /

   gr.query();

   alert(gr.manager);

   if(gr.next()){

    g_form.setValue('field of form to populate',gr.manager);

   }

}

Hi @Aditya Sinha ,

you cannot use Glide Record in client script(onload) as its not recommended and not a best practice too.

you can use Glide Ajax and create script include
