getViewValue

Returns the display value for an item in a Schema option list.

For example, assume an option list exists for a custom metadata field named Customer. In the database there is a schema table with the CustomerName and a unique CustomerID. On checkin the CustomerName is visible to the user but the CustomerID is what is stored in the database. The getFieldViewDisplayValue function extracts the human-readable CustomerName based on the CustomerID.

Parameters
