How to populate first name and last name of the user in respective fields using reference function?

[Ankit Pal]

Hi,

I want to customize a user form in resource module in ServiceNow, where if I select the name of the person from User table (using reference field) then first name and last names should be picked and filled up in their respective fields. Currently what happening is, the complete name is getting filled in first name and last name field in the form.  

Thanks 

Ankit

Hi,

why not show the first name and last name as dot walked fields instead of writing script etc?

it would be happening OOB.

When you change user it would auto-populate those dot walked fields
