But i require Employee name instead of employee id for this particular field so how can we do this??

You can query the employee names and update the options property of your Select control

var employees = [
  {"label": "employee name", "value": "employee_id"}, {..}, {..} ]

cur_frm.set_df_property("employee_name", "options", employees);

Hi,

I am looking for the same functionality, I tried with sample as below for link field on form onload

var mname = [ {“label”: “test_name”, “value”: “test_id”} ];

cur_frm.set_df_property(“master_name”, “options”, mname);

But throwing following error while click on the select field

DocType [{“label”:“test_name”,“value”:“test_id”}] not found

The resource you are looking for is not available

I am new to ERPNext, may be doing something wrong. Please advice on this.

Hi,

I was trying this functionality and hit similar error :

Pasted image831×252 17.9 KB

At the dropdown of Employee in Leave Application, I am trying to show the company the employee belongs to. Currently, it is just a dropdown of Employee ID and Employee Name. So, I have tried :

  1. company in Search Fields in Employee Customize Form - did not work.
  2. Tried the following code via Custom Script and hit the error above :

var employees = [
{“label”: “Company”, “value”: “company”} ]
cur_frm.set_df_property(“employee”, “options”, employees);

Kindly advice how I could achieve showing company in the dropdown of Employee in Leave Application.
Thanks in advance.
