    Fair enough. I was hoping to avoid an extra GET as all I need is the text value already used by the lookup. Thanks Benny.

    With lookup, you do extra GET to grab any related field for that record.

    For complex fields such as the Salesforce Lookup how do I obtain the text value? window.ftGetValueByID('fld5', true); window.ftGetValueByID('fld5-text', true); None of these seem to work
