Hi,
I have a requirement to display the asset type value in my custom form based on asset id where asset type is of int64 type.
I have tried using display method and also used find method and tried to insert, I've even used int642str. But the asset type value is being displayed as some numeric value like : /5637146132/. I've checked in SQL also, it shows 5637146132 for asset type field. But in front end it shows as string.

How can I get the string value displayed for the asset type field?

Please give us more details. What value from which table are you trying to get?

Also, where does you custom form gets the value? From a table field? If so, which one?

It seems AssetType in your table is rec if of the original table, first you need to find the relation to the actual table where you may find some string value of AssetType.

As you may have noted it's Int64 which is supposed to be a numeric value and that wast you are getting when converting it to a string.

So all you need to do is go to your table relation find the parent table of AssetType and write logic to feth value, for eg,

select assetTypeTable

where assetTypeTable.assetType == AssetType;

return assetTypeTable.Description or name

Hi Deepak,

I've checked the relation and relation was with rec id and used the same to find using rec id and inserted the actual table's (objecttype) string value and it worked fine now. Thanks.
