How to display "country" field value from cmn_location table in custom field of "LIST" type?

[abhi710]

Hi @Community Alums ,

There is a custom field "Country" of type "List" on custom table, which refers to the cmn_location table. The country name should be displayed in the LIST collector from cmn_location table. How can we achieve this without changing the display value of cmn_location table?

Hi @abhi710, List type fields holds the sys_id of the referenced record in the backend. It is expected that the referenced table's field with display true will be displayed on the form. As per my knowledge, it is not feasible to show the country name from location table on the List type field unless the display is true in the field dictionary.

Hi @abhi710 

Try this and let me know how you get on, feel free to chop and change it.

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    var sourceGr = new GlideRecord('SOURCE_TABLE');

    sourceGr.query();
    while (sourceGr.next()) {

        var destGr = new GlideRecord('DEST_TABLE');
        destGr.addQuery('sys_id', sourceGr.sys_id);

        destGr.query();

        while (destGr.next()) {

            var sourceLocations = sourceGr.getValue('s_location').split(',');
            var destLocations = destGr.getValue('d_location').split(',');

            for (var i = 0; i < sourceLocations.length; i++) {
                var location = sourceLocations[i].trim();

                if (location && !destLocations.includes(location)) {
                    destLocations.push(location);
                }
            }
            destGr.setValue('d_location', destLocations.join(','));
            destGr.update();

        }
    }
})(current, previous);
