How to find a related list back end name?

Community Alums — Thu, 03 Dec 2020 07:19:21 GMT

Hi All,

I need to hide a related list based on field1 value. My related list name "Test Requests", i have written the below code. It is not working.

function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
if (g_form.getValue('u_request') == 'test') {
g_form.hideRelatedList('test_requests');
} else {
g_form.hideRelatedList('test_requests');
}
}

Regards,

Sirraj

Hi Sirraj,

You can follow these steps:

1) Search in navigator

2) Search by your table and view(if any)

3) Open the required record and you will find backend name of related list as in image.

Please mark helpful if it solves the purpose

Hi Shivani,

I am getting sys_id kind of thing. Not names.

Hi,

then use that in the function

Since that may be the defined relationships so it shows in that syntax

Hi Sirraj,

From the screenshot provided it seems it is a custom relationshipt that is created & thus will show sys_id & is an expected behavior.

Unsure about the reason but possibly it is to differentiate between custom & OOB available relationships.

Yes, that worked. So its an expected behaviour only rite? if names are not showing i can use that sysid?

Hi Jaspal,

Yes its a custom one and i have used the same in my code. So like this i can code rite?

if (g_form.getValue('u_requesttype') == 'test') {
g_form.hideRelatedList('REL:90bb91381bc06c90a28aec223e4bcb7e');
} else {
g_form.hideRelatedList('REL:90bb91381bc06c90a28aec223e4bcb7e');
}

Ok, that means it's a custom related list so it will show sys-id. Modify it to:

Related list name : REL:9d7c170acba7330016e9582df8076d7d

then modify script to

g_form.hideRelatedList('REL:9d7c170acba7330016e9582df8076d7d');

@Sirraj

Glad to know that my response helped.

Yes that should be fine to use that sys_id.

Yes it is known behavior.

For defined relationship that is the syntax

Let me know if I have answered your question.

If so, please mark appropriate response as correct & helpful so that this thread can be closed and others can be benefited by this.
