Blank current object when passing from Workflow to Script Include

[kurtbell1]

I have a script include that uses a GlideRecord object as an input.   The Script Include works as it should when I fetch a record and call it from background scripts.   For example:

var caseRecord = new GlideRecord('table');

caseRecord.get([sys id of a record i choose]);

new   x_dnf_application.class()._method(caseRecord);

The above works perfectly.

When I try and call this script include and pass it the "current" object from a workflow, different story.  

This is the code inside the   "Run Script" activity

new   x_dnf_application.class()._method(current);

I have some gs.info writes in the Script Include and the "current" argument is empty when the workflow is executing it.   How could this be?   If I hard-code a string as the argument from the workflow, the string prints out in log successfully, so its an issue with "current", I just don't know what the issue is.

I've also tried sending current.sys_id to see if there's just a problem passing an object versus a single value.   Still passed an empty value.

What am I missing?

Can you try changing table to some OOB table like incident and run the same workflow? I just tried to print current.sys_id and it printed correctly.

Thanks.

Hi Kurt,

Whether it be global scope or our custom scope current is part of the scope. For e.g. whenever we create a custom application in that new scope current is a property of that scope. So in your case current should be having the gliderecord object and current.sys_id the sys id value. If that is not coming through check the properties of Workflow and if you still dont get it I believe it needs a deeper look from a HI professional.

I have verified that current gives the glideRecord Object in a custom app.

Just to close the thread on this - it had something to do with the workflow.   I rebuilt a scaled-down version of it and the "current" pass worked out just fine. The original workflow has a lot of branches and joins and I suspect this had something to do with it.   I'm just going to try and find a way to make the workflow work how we want it without all of that. Thanks everyone for your help!
