additional task to a workflow

[levino]

Hi Experts

i have attached a snippet of my current workflow which calls a REST API, it works as expected.

i have a additional requirement to ,create a task and assign it to a fulfilment group.

i do not want to change the existing workflow as its working as expected.

please guide me thru creating a task , not sure how to get the values to populate into the task

i can provide some more info if needed

Thank You

Hi @levino 

It will be Create catalog task.

Ok ..can you let me know which field on catalog task you want to update from this run script.

& what value from run script you want to update on task.

Hi Vishal 

i just need to pass the below variables which have been selected on the catalog item to the task.

i have put catalog task activity after the REST - SUCCESS node in the workflow, it says its running creating a task but does not actually create a task

Thanks
