setting logged username by using client script

[Community Alums]

Hello folks ,

I have a field name called "user" this field is referenced to "sys_user" table . Now i would like to write a client script to setValue default logged user name in this field .

Is there any way to set the value by using client scripts ? Because when i try to write   below script is hitting error .

function onLoad() {
var uval = g_form.getValue('req_by_for_requested_by') ;
if (uval == '')
{
var user = ga.addQuery('user_name',gs.getUserName());
g_form.setValue(user) ;
//alert(uval); 
}
}

You can't use gs. in a client script, try   g_user.userID

Or set the default value of the field or variable to

gs.getUserID();

1. function onLoad() {  
2.        
3. var uval = g_form.getValue('req_by_for_requested_by') ;  
4. if (uval == '')  
5. {  
7. g_form.setValue('user',g_user.userID) ;    
8. //alert(uval);  
9. }  
10. }

Yes what Deepak said ^^^

Question though, now that I fully looked at the script, is the field your trying to populate the req_by_for_requested_by? If so line 7 should read as follows:

g_form.setValue('req_by_for_requested_by', g_user.userID);
