Introduction to ServiceNow getBooleanValue function | ServiceNow Client script tricks and tips

Hi All,

Hope you are doing fine.
– We all have worked on the client-side validations in our project. For which we use client scripts which are of type onSubmit, onChange, onLoad, and onCellEdit.While working on the client-side scripting often we have a few boolean fields on the form and we want to execute some validation based on the boolean value.
– To extract the value of any fields the function which we use is getValue() but do you know while working with the boolean fields (checkbox) this function doesn’t work as expected?
– When we use the getValue(‘Boolean field name’) we expect the outcome as boolean, but it returns the string value instead of boolean. Isn’t it surprising?

In this video, we will get familiar with resolving this conflict.
In this tutorial, we will be looking into the function “getBooleanValue”.

What is the getBooeanValue function?
– getBooleanValue function is the client-side function that

can be used to extract the boolean value of the boolean fields on the form.

Hope you like this video please mark it helpful if it’s useful to you.
