Value return error in widget

[KiranmaiP]

Can we add getValue() with field value of type "String"?

Is it getDisplayValue() or getValue()?

Hello @KiranmaiP ,

Yes, you can use getValue() with a field of type String.

getValue() - Retrieves the actual value stored in the database
Example: When you need the raw data, like a sys_id or the exact value of a field.
var fieldValue = g_form.getValue('field_name');

getDisplayValue() - Retrieves the human-readable or display value that users see.
When you need the name, label, or description that is shown in the UI, especially for reference fields.

var displayValue = g_form.getDisplayValue('field_name');
