How to display current logged in user name not userid

[Nivedita]

Hello,

I want to populate username (fullname) not user id in opened by family.Can anyone help?

[Mark Roethof]

Hi there,

How are you populating that user id now? For example default value gs.getUserID()?

Have you tried gs.getUserDisplayName()?

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,

Hi,

You should use that:

//On change script on Requested for Field

var caller = g_form.getReference('requested_for',doAlert);

function doAlert(caller){
g_form.setValue('opened_by',caller.name); //opened by is variable name you can replace with you variabel name
}

This is if you want to add name of requsted for.

If you want to add name of loged in user

var name = g_user.firstName +' '+g_user.lastName

g_form.setValue('opened_by',name);

Thanks,
Ashutosh
