Auto populate Manager in reference field

[Mohammed Amine1]

Hi,

How can I auto populate a reference variable in a catalog Item field using a Catalog client script?

I want to display the manager of the current logged user.

I already managed to display the current logged user info.

This is the begining of the script : 

function onLoad() {

    g_form.setValue('current_user', g_user.userID);
    g_form.setValue('current_user_manager',     .....     );

}

Thanks for any help.

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar ,

In this case don't have any Source Variable name need to check the logged in user.

is still Catalog Data lookup definitions  possible?

Hi @Mohammed Amine1 

Simplest Way

Use this in a default value of the manager Variable.

If my response helped please mark it correct.

Hi @Mohammed Amine1 ,

have you tried my solution with client script?

[Mohammed Amine1]

Yes I tried the GlideAjax .. It's working but I find te one with the javascript in default value easier.

Is there a best practice or a solution that performs better between client script (GlideAjax or GlideRecord) and the default value reference ?

Thanks.
