Grab name from iOS Contacts record?

[Fern]

Is there a way to grab only the name of the linked Contact? (I’d love to not have to manually enter a contact’s name; I’ve just been linking to a record in iOS’s Contacts.)

With my almost nonexistent knowledge of scripting, I’ve only gotten it to return the entirety of the iOS record, i.e.{ id = “blablabla”; name = “blablabla”; phoneNumbers = {home = blablabla; mobile = blablabla;};} etc

Your contact field returns just a regular javascript object. To get the name, you can use contact.name or contact["name"].

Example:

function Get_Contact_Name() {
	var contact_id = 'fld-xxx';
	var contact = record.getFieldValue(contact_id);
	return contact["name"];
}

Get_Contact_Name();
