Hi Hitman,

I would recommend against this as labels are subject to change and ARE different in multiple languages. The purpose of the choice list value is to avoid all those headaches.

Can I ask why you are interested in doing a label comparison?

FWIW, you can get the label by using <object>.field.getDisplayValue()

Hi Hitman,

You can GlideRecord the table sys_choice (name = tablename, element = field name) and that will give you the Label of the field.

Please let us know if you have any questions/concerns.

Hi Hitman,

getDisplayValue() function returns the label name of a choice list.

Suppose a choice list label is "Draft" and its value is 1 and it is in the state field of incident.Then

current,state (returns 1)

current.state.getDisplayValue() (returns Draft)

Thanks,

Mihir
