Add catalog task description through workflow advanced script

Joshuu · ‎04-28-2023

Hi All,

I want to add below lines in the catalog task description by using advanced script in catalog task activity.

1. Validate approval.
2. If a spot buy, create and distribute PO to Vendor.
3. Add items ordered to Inventory tracking spreadsheet.
4. If spot buy, update inventory tracking spreadsheet..
5. If spot buy, Mark PO as received.

Please assist.

Thank you.

@Joshuu I am assuming you would like to set description on the catalog task via the work flow SC Task activity.

Here is how you can do it.

Here is the script.

task.description = ' 1. Validate approval.\n 2. If a spot buy, create and distribute PO to Vendor.\n 3. Add items ordered to Inventory tracking spreadsheet.\n 4. If spot buy, update inventory tracking spreadsheet..\n 5. If spot buy, Mark PO as received.';

Hope this helps.

@Joshuu

It could have been better you starting the script from your side so that it will be learning for you as well.

Getting direct answers may not help you in long term for development skills.

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar ,

Thank you.

And I just found that we can even add the text in the instructions field in the catalog task activity so that it will be populated in the description filed without any script.

Thanks.
