Current User / Assigned To

How can I get the name of the person in the Assigned To field? (people picker)?

I thought could just get it like this fd.field('AssignedTo').value()

But don't get any value, so I tried the script below - but its only showing the domain\userloginnumber - I need the full name. Can I change the .AccountName to something else like .Display Name etc?

(tried a lot of diferent ....)

My working script on a button click:

var hh = fd.field('AssignedTo').value().dictionaryEntries[0].AccountName;
alert(hh);

    Please, use the following code to get the display name of the selected user:

    fd.field('AssignedTo').value().text

    Hello,

    Check this page for a reference on how to set/get various values from various fields: http://formsdesigner.blogspot.com/2013/04/getting-and-setting-sharepoint-form.html

    If you have a multi-value people picker field, for example, you'd do this:

    var logins = '';
$.each(fd.field('person').value()
  .dictionaryEntries,
  function() {
    logins += this.AccountName + '; ';
  });

console.log(logins);
