how to set value for string field having choices using fix script

[Apoorva Kadu]

I want to insert a record with fiscal year field value, on form it is choice field but in backend it's a string 

tableRec = new GlideRecord('cost_plan');
tableRec.initialize();
tableRec.name = 'Test costplan4';
tableRec.task = 'ff80cc231bb3f89c2473eb19b04bcb43';
tableRec.u_fiscal_year = 'FY-22/23'; // if am giving direct choice value it is coming in blue color 

OR

tableRec.u_fiscal_year = 'af36cf62dbad9c509a88b1b239961937';  //if am giving sys_id of (FY-22/23) then sys_id is coming in the field.
tableRec.insert();

What is the correct method to insert choice from choice list

Hello,

Since it's string field and choice is not available it will show in blue. Kindly create new choice "FY-22/23" and then try to set with this value (not sys id), it will be in black color only.

Hi,

please give the choice value and not the choice label or sysId
