How to assign a bushness role to a reference field?

[shiz]

I have a field that is a reference type, how can I assign this value from another table to it?

Hi @shiz ,

You can not, reference field will accept value only from reference table which you have configured in dictionary.

the value which you will try to set that record sys id has to be present in reference table else it wont set.

So you have a reference field to the 'u_actual_times' table and from there you need the record that has the same 'u_week_starts_on' as on your current record?
What kind of fields are these, because date/time fields can be tricky. Put logging in your BR to make sure the fields are giving the correct values to compare to.

var actualTimeWeeklyRecord = current.u_releate_date.getRefRecord();
var actualWeekStartsOn = actualTimeWeeklyRecord.u_week_starts_on;
if(current.u_week_starts_on != actualWeekStartsOn){
   var grActTimes = new GlideRecord('u_actual_times');
   grActTimes.addQuery('u_week_starts_on',current.u_week_starts_on);
   grActTimes.query(;
   while(grActTimes.next()){
      current.u_releate_date = grActTime.getUniqueValue(); 
}

u_week_starts_on-field needs to be the display value of the 'u_actual_times' table. Otherwise it won't work. The only solution you have then is to put it as a dotwalked field on the form, getting it from that table.

@Mark Manders hello

According to the writing style you provided, it seems that it still cannot be assigned a value.
