Service Catalog: get display value of reference catalog variable

alert(g_form.getDisplayBox('<variable_name>').value);

note: this doesn't work in Service Portal, and not sure if it's officially supported since it doesn't appear in the GlideForm documentation!

for serviceportal, some experimentation below...

---

was having a play with GlideRecord in Service Portal view...


function onSubmit() {
    var urlString=top.location.toString();
    var res=true;
    var bPortal=false; //--loaded from Service Portal?
    if(urlString.indexOf('id=sc_cat_item')>-1){
        bPortal=true;
    }
    var itemID='';
    try{
        if (bPortal){
            itemID= g_form.getSysId(); //--service portal friendly
        }else{
            //--standard servicenow form
            itemID= gel('sysparm_id').value;
        }
    }catch (ex){
        //--
        alert('An error has occurred in the form load ' + ex.toString());
    }
   
    if (g_form.getValue('retail_owned_by')=='' || g_form.getValue('retail_assigned_to')==''){
        alert('owned by / assigned to not populated for the item selected');
        return false;
       
    }else{
        var bLaptop=false;
       
        alert(itemID);
        var displayTxt='';
        if (!bPortal){
        displayTxt=g_form.getDisplayBox('retail_kit').value.toLowerCase();
            bLaptop=(displayTxt.indexOf('lenovo')>-1);
            if (bLaptop){
                res=confirm('proceed?');
            }
            alert('return...' + res);
            return res;
           
        }else{
           
            //--SERVICE PORTAL LOGIC:
           
            var field_sysid=g_form.getValue('retail_kit');
            //--service portal view
            //--reluctantly, a gliderecord. Cant use synchronous AJAX calls and need to be able to prevent form submission
            //--https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/istanbul-servicenow-platform/page/build/service-portal/concept/unsupported_client_scripts.html
            var grRL=new GlideRecord('u_mab_retail_sc_lookup');
            grRL.addQuery('sys_id', field_sysid);
            /*grRL.query();
            if (grRL.next()){

                //displayTxt=grRL.getValue(u_name);
            }*/
            grRL.query(function(grRL) {
                if (grRL.next()){
                    alert('in func');
                    alert('getKitDisplay:: u_name:' + grRL.getValue('u_name'));
                    displayTxt=    grRL.getValue('u_name').toLowerCase();
                    bLaptop=(displayTxt.indexOf('lenovo')>-1);
                   
                    if (bLaptop){
                        res=confirm('proceed?');

                    alert('return...' + res);

            });

            if (g_form.getValue('retail_additional_flag')=='true'){
                alert(g_form.getValue('hidden_addtl_sections'));
            totalCounter=parseInt(g_form.getValue('hidden_addtl_sections'));
                for (iC=1;iC<totalCounter;iC++){
                    //alert(iC);
                }
            }
        }*/
       
       
       
       
        //return true;

GlideRecord setValue

setValue(String name, Object value) Sets the specified field to the specified value. Normally a script would do a direct assignment, for example,  gr.category = value . However, if in a script the element name is a variable, then  gr.setValue(elementName, value)  can be used. When setting a value, ensure the data type of the field matches the data type of the value you enter. This method cannot be used on journal fields. If the value parameter is null, the record is not updated, and an error is not thrown https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/api_doc?v=madrid&id=r_GlideRecord-setValue_String_Object
