Reference Field Calculate Value

What value do I return for a Reference Fiend Calulcation?

 

Here is what I have so far;

I have a reference field to "Group"

Having this: 

(function calculatedFieldValue(current) {
	return "bbda81eddbdc1cd0ce30f1471d961996";
})(current);

Returns nothing. (that is the sys_id for a group called ISSE)

(function calculatedFieldValue(current) {
	return "ISSE";
})(current);

Returns Nothing as well.

 

Also can this return an Array of values?

Can you provide more context, where is this called and what's your requirement is ? 

Imagine a reference field, that is also calculated.

The only question I am asking is, what value do I need to return?

 

Example I gave was, this is a reference to groups. I want to do some kind of logic (irrelevant) and return that group as a value.

 

So for quick testing, I am just returning the sys_id which resulted in that field having a blank value. I also tried returning the "name" which also returned a blank value.
