I don't really know where I've gotten this from but I'm trying to have a variable owner be the request OR on behalf of if that is filled in. But it doesn't seem to work even if I fill in the On Behalf Of. 

Getting the Value of the Requester returns the name.

But getting the value of the On Behalf Of returns a UID-number

var owner = $CS.getValue("REQUESTER");
if ($CS.getValue("REQUESTER.OBO")) {
    onbehalfof= $CS.getValue("REQUESTER.OBO);
}

So I need to do do getText instead.

Why this discrepancy? It also causes my IF statement to fail since getValue returns 0 not NULL when there is no On Behalf Of.
