How to set default value of user manager

[Kifrez]

Hi everyone,

Could you please assist me how to set default value of a variable?
I need user 2's manager to be the default value (Screenshot below)
This script is only get user who is opening the form.
Thanks in advanced for your assistance.

javascript:gs.getUser().getManagerID()

Hi.

Default value will only work when form loads and will take value of the logged in user's manager.

Since you require Manager to be populated on User 2 you would require onChange client script for this

Sample below

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;
}

var ref = g_form.getReference('on_behalf_of',callBack);
}

function callBack(ref){

if(ref.manager){
g_form.setValue('manager',ref.manager); 
}

}

hi Ankur, 

Yes, it will work when the form loads.

I will need to set something when the form loads because on_behalf_of still auto populated by javascript:gs.getUserID()

Hi Freddy,

If the field is autopopulated then you can use onLoad client script with same logic

Hi,

If you want to set default value then set for both the variables

If on_behalf_of is auto-populated with logged in user then

This should work for the manager variable

Is that not working as expected? Did you check logged in user has Manager or not

javascript:gs.getUser().getManagerID()
