now it should work

we are sending userFullName from UI action; so update as this

<g:evaluate var="jvar_name" expression="RP.getWindowProperties().get('userFullName')" />
                
                <p>full name ${jvar_name}</p>

Hope you are using g:ui_reference name to refer the user record. To set default value you use the below line

 

<g:ui_reference name="item_ref_field" table="sys_user" value="${gs.getUserID()}" displayvalue="${gs.getUser().fullName}"/>

Thank you,
Palani

Hi Palani Kumar,

This is populating the current logged in user name not the user record user name

Hi,

you can pass the current user record sys_id to that UI page and set that

Can you share the UI action and UI page scripts?

Hi Ankur,

The Ui page script
