User to input information on catalog tasks of a RITM for custom fields not present in sc_task table

[Adithya M]

Hi Team,
I have a scenario where a RITM has multiple catalog tasks and is assigned to a user. User has to input information for various tasks, but the necessary fields are not included in the standard task table (sc_task). Creating custom fields on the table for every task leads to an excessive number of columns. Is there a way to take input from the user on each task without creating custom fields in the sc_task table?

Yes, you can use (catalog) Variables for that.
Just make sure that those variables are either made global, or that whatever creates the Catalog Tasks also associates those variables with the Catalog Tasks.

You can even use Catalog UI Policies to display and make those variables read-write if and when needed.
