Getting "-1" whenever I try to get Form Value. Scriptrunner

Hi Community,

 Good Day!

I am trying to fetch form customfield value but every time I am fetching it shows "-1".

customfield is single select list.

The form suppose to show value in the backend.

def companyField = getFieldById("customfield_123456");

String companyFieldValue = companyField.getFormValue();

Thanks & Regards,

Saqib

Hello @Saqib Dar ,

"-1" usually means that the custom field is not set. If it's a required field and you're trying to get the value before the user submits the form, that may be the reason.

You can try to add a check to see if the value is empty before trying to get it:

def companyField = getFieldById("customfield_123456");
String companyFieldValue = companyField. getFormValue();
if (companyFieldValue == "-1") {
companyFieldValue = null;
}

This will set the value to null if the field is not set.

Hope it helps.
