GlideRecord

• Use getUniqueValue to get sys_id.
• Use newRecord instead of instantiating to get a new record with default values.
• Dot-walking on GlideRecord returns GlideElement, use getRefRecord to get GlideRecord.

GlideForm

• Use getBooleanValue for boolean fields.

Debugging tips and tricks

Platform Troubleshooting

Console output too chatty?
Set com.glide.util.Log.developer_filter = true to cut down on non-interactive console log entries such as scheduled workers. (Don't forget to remove it when you're done!)

Utility urls

Note: Fast! These don't need a database.
