Split the value from look up select box field and auto populate in single line text variable

[satya30]

I have a look up select field where I am populating the values of u_code, u_label by seperator (u_code|u_label)
then I have a single text variable which is read only where I need to auto populate the u_code that is getting displayed in the look up select box field.

Here, I cannot change the Look up select box to Reference field.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @satya30 

Please try below code

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading) return;  

    // Get the selected value from the lookup select field (assuming it's 'u_lookup_select')
    var selectedValue = g_form.getValue('u_lookup_select'); 

    // Split the value at the separator (assuming format is u_code|u_label)
    var uCode = selectedValue.split('|')[0];  // Extract the u_code part
   alert(uCode);
    // Set the u_code into the read-only text field (assuming it's 'u_code_field')
    g_form.setValue('u_code_field', uCode);
}

If my response helped please mark it correct and helpful.

Thanks & Regards,

Sejal

I tried this way, this is storing the sys_id of the record in the code field.

what needs to be done here?

What is added in 'Lookup value field' for look up select field ?

instead of  

var selectedValue = g_form.getValue('u_lookup_select'); 

try using 

var selectedValue = g_form.getDisplayValue('u_lookup_select'); 

For me its showing properly

getDisplayValue works only for reference fields.

In the look up field it is take u_Code | u_label values to get displayed
