Access Type of Catalog Variable in Script

[Prathamjeet Sin]

Hi there, 

So I am currently trying to access the type of catalog variable but had no luck so far. 
Specifically I am trying to see if the variable is either lookup variable or not. 

I have tried multiple versions like this:

current.variables.project_name.type.getDisplayValue();
current.variables.project_name.type;

 Please let me know if there is a way to access the type. Thanks

Hi @Prathamjeet Sin 

I think you need to use alert(typeof(g_form.variables.project_name));

typeof() is the syntax to findout the type.

You can query in the variable(item_option_new) table

var rec = new GlideRecord('item_option_new');
rec.addQuery('name','project_name');
rec.addQuery('cat_item','your item');
rec.query();
rec.next();
var type = rec.type;

@Prathamjeet Sin ,

Please try this code and let me know if it works for you!

var mtom = new GlideRecord('sc_item_option_mtom');

mtom.addQuery('request_item',current.sys_id);// sys_id of sc_req_item record

mtom.query();

while(mtom.next()) {

gs.info("type of variables  : " + mtom.sc_item_option.item_option_new.type.getDisplayValue());

}
