How to get parent table field value in child table field ?

Hi All,

I've a record producer ("Request firewall Access") in scoped application "Firewall Audits" which will create a FTASK in a custom table (firewall_new_request). I've a MRVS in this record producer, on submitting a request from this record producer, all the rows which we're adding in MRVS will be available under parent table FTASK related list. 

We've created another table (Rule resource data) to store all the MRVS values and we're setting the parent field of this child table from record producer script.

"""""" ruleresource.parent = current.sys_id.toString(); """""""

Query: I've a field called "Name" (String) in my record producer. After submitting the request from that record producer, I wanted to see the value which user entered in "Name" in child table (Rule Resource data) list view. 

I wrote below before BR in child table by checking insert and update checkbox, but it is not working.

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

var gr = new GlideRecord('sn_disco_firewall_new_firewall_request');
gr.addQuery('sys_id', current.parent);
gr.query();
if(gr.next()){
current.u_name = gr.u_name ;
current.update();
}

"u_name" is the backend field value for 'Name' in both parent and child table.

can anyone please some way to get the 'Name' value from parent table to child table 'name' field?

Note: Both tables extended from Task table.

Parent table field value:

Child Table field value is empty:

Please suggest a way to get the field value on child from parent.

keep logs in your script and verify if BR is getting triggered or not.

Hi Rohila,
