Hello team,

Good day, 

I have a query regarding OnLoad client script,

Can you please share the script for below query

Auto populate the logged user in Reported by field

Thank you

Hi @bhavanakuruba 

you'd need to provide more details, this is way too abstract..

Firstly, client script is associated with a table where is that field - incident, demand, location, ..... so please create an onLoad client script applied on this table and the script could be something like this:

g_form.setValue('reported_by', g_user.getUserID()); //check the field name

EDIT:  correction above: g_user.userID >>> g_user.getUserID()

@bhavanakuruba 

correction > it's g_user.getUserID();

see my test:

Also, there should be verification that the field is empty, because if I will create a new record (incident in my example) it will pre-populate the Caller by the logged in user, then I will save it the value will remain but if somebody else will continue working on it, it will next time populate with that person...

So perhaps the onLoad client script isn't the best idea... instead you could set the default value. What do you think about it?
