getReference is not working in client script

[sriram7]

Hi Team,

getReference is now working, below is my code.

Code is for hide buyer group variable when requested for company is Cubis Industries UK, Ireland & France.

function onLoad() {

    // Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

   var requestedFor = g_form.getReference('request_for', hideField);

alert(requestedFor);

function hideField(requestedFor) {

   // if (requestedFor && requestedFor.company) {

        var requestedForCompany = requestedFor.company.getDisplayValue();

        alert(requestedForCompany);

        if (requestedForCompany == 'Cubis Industries UK, Ireland & France') {

            g_form.setDisplay('buyer_groups', false);

       // }

    }

}

}

Hi Sriram,

Try below

function onLoad() {
    // Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   var requestedFor = g_form.getReference('request_for', hideField);
alert(requestedFor);
 
 
function hideField(requestedFor) {

        var requestedForCompany = requestedFor.company;//this will give sys_id of company
        
        alert(requestedForCompany);
        
        if (requestedForCompany == 'Cubis Industries UK, Ireland & France') { //pass sys_id instead of name for Cubis Industries
            g_form.setDisplay('buyer_groups', false);
    }
    }

}

Instead of using getreference you can use script include 

Servicenow does not recommend getReference
