GlideRecord Pass By Reference Demo
Have you ever needed help understanding why GlideRecord.field_name and GlideRecord.getValue('field_name') can behave differently? This is a simple script that demonstrates why it's important to use getters, especially when working with arrays. Simply run it in your browser console. var obj = { field : { value : 0 }, next : function () { if ( obj . field . value < 10 ) { obj . field . value ++; return true ; } return false ; }, getValue : function ( field_name ) { if ( obj . hasOwnProperty ( field_name ) && obj [ field_name ]. hasOwnProperty ( 'value' )) { return obj [ field_name ]. value . toString (); } else { return '' ; } } }; var refarr = []; var valarr = []; while ( obj . next ()) { refarr . push ( obj . field ); valarr . push ( obj . getValue ( 'field' )); } console . log
