How to get display value of any reference field using Client script?

[rathikaramamurt]

Hey,

Could anyone please advise on how to get the display value for any reference field (CI field) using the onSubmit Catalog Client script?

Using g_form.getValue('u_device_ref_1'), I am getting the sys_id of this field

And with g_form.getDisplayValue('u_device_ref_1'), I am getting blank value.

Thanks in Advance,

Rathika.

You need to use getDisplayBox() function.

Please go through below threads.

HI Rathika,

You can use g_form.getDisplayBox('field_name');

Thanks

Does this still work?   I am trying to do this in an OnChange Catalog Client Script for a particular catalog item and "getDisplayBox" is not an option for g_form:

I am trying to get the DisplayValue() of a reference field.

I need to post a correction to the above.   This is missing a .value at the end of the statement.   It should be:

g_form.getDisplayBox('field_name').value;

Now this works for me too.

Thanks,

Brad
