Version Picker custom field - how to access from Groovy script?

[Jon Starbird]

I have a custom field that is a single version picker type and when the user selects the version I need to set the value of another hidden field. Setting the other field is no problem as I've done that in another script but I can't seem to get the version from the custom field using the usual getFieldbyname or getFieldbyId.

Is there something special I need to do since it is a version picker type?

Thanks,

Jon

Finally found that I needed to convert the String I was getting back to a Long so that this call finally gave me the displayed Version String I was looking for:

String selVal = componentManager.getInstance().getVersionManager().getVersion(Long.parseLong(val))
