Document ID field - Did You Know

[@bongbooksreviews5966]

What a simple explanation and demo. Thank you Very much.

Wow 👌 I did not know that the getRefRecord function works with the document ID type field. That is useful. Thanks Chuck!

[@JoatanGeek]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@ChuckTomasi]

You're welcome

[@laylaaitlaaraj]

Wow thank you :)

Can you give a use case scenario? I can’t think of one.

[@Betty-ji8fy]

My first thought was as a new field on an incident to share any record that the incident was about.

[@annaydas5469]

This field has pretty good use cases in approvals table (sysapproval_apprpver) for non-task records.

You could also add a reference qualifier on the table field so only specified tables are selectable. Only allow sys_user, sys_user_group and core_company and now you can select any user, group or company in the same field to specify who for example a change is done for.

Wow 😯

Hi Chuck, Say I have a main table, where i have placed this document id. How to add the related fields from a document id table to the list view of the main table.

[@mohdshahnawaz2951]

Awesome. Thanks Chuck. Q. Can we apply filter to document field.

[@ChuckTomasi]

I see some var_ dictionary entries that have reference qualifiers on them like "table_name=change_request", but I haven't found a way to set this w/o modifying default UI policies, etc. I'm going to say "It's not officially supported", but you may be able to find a way around it. I recommend doing some experimentation on your PDI.

Hi Chuck, this field has been a pain for me. I am trying to script a sys_id of another table into the table field and a matching record sys_id into the "Applies To" field but it just does not work. It displays the sys_id of the table as a string in the Table field and leaves the "Applies To" field empty.
