As Ankur said, if you design the script, someone will help you in making it work. Here are the steps to design the script to fulfill your requirement

  1. "GlideRecord" the custom table you created
  2. Add the "encodedQuery" as per your requirement the "Query' it
  3. Within the while loop, query the sys_user table with the encodedQuery of sys_id=u_engagement_partner, and then query it
  4. Get the value of the country field set that value in your custom table field and then update it.

Would you mind designing a script and come back to here, will help you then.

 

Best Regards,

Tarun
