[Bug] Unable to create domain record using Now.ID then use that referance during record creation

[u173487]

I am attempting to create Demo data in a domain separated environment by creating a DEMO domain and then creating customers for that domain:

The DEMO domain creates as expected:

const domainTableName = 'domain';

//Demo Domain Record
Record({
    $id: Now.ID[`${domainTableName}1`],  //Returns sys_id 'ff3a82c360584d3cbd1b8018f857a2ae'.
    $meta: { installMethod: 'demo' },
    table: domainTableName,
    data: {
        name: 'DEMO',
        active: true,
        type: 'Customer',
        description: 'Domain for demo customers and demo data',
        parent: '774190f01f1310005a3637b8ec8b70ef', //Top domain sys id
        primary: false,
    }
})

I then proceed to create 2 customer records:

const customerTableName = 'customer_account';

//Customers
Record({
    $id: Now.ID[`${customerTableName}1`],
    $meta: { installMethod: 'demo' },
    table: customerTableName,
    data: {
        name: 'Parts Unlimited',
        sys_domain: Now.ID[`${domainTableName}1`], // Returns string domain1
    }
})
Record({
    $id: Now.ID[`${customerTableName}2`],
    $meta: { installMethod: 'demo' },
    table: customerTableName,
    data: {
        name: 'UniCo',
        sys_domain: 'ff3a82c360584d3cbd1b8018f857a2ae', // Inserts the correct reference
    }

When i manually insert the Sys_ID the field reference creates as expected.

Has anyone seen this or found a workaround? I am quite new to this ecosystem.

I have placed sanitized code in this repository: https://github.com/u173487/Snow_Domain_Sep_Demo

You can't use Now.ID as a variable like that, use the record you created. I dont know what domainTableName1 is but if its a record you created elsewhere you can use it like a variable on the sys_domain field if you want its sys_id that gets generated.

import { domainRecord1 } from "../domainrecord.now.ts" //<-wherever you created this import it

const recordOne = Record({
 $id: Now.ID['customer_account_1'],
 data: {
    sys_domain: domainRecord1.$id
 }
})

Thank you for your reply.

Apologies i missed that variable declaration off my example code: const domainTableName = 'domain';

I did notice that Now.ID is an object and attemped to referance the id but did not try $id

hence the error.

I have put the domain record in a variable and referenced the variable instead of referencing the Now.ID and i can confirm this works.

Thank you for clearing up the confusion
