Catalog Item Dropdown Options with Option Descriptions

Hi everyone, I am fairly new to servicenow and wanting to create a dropdown field for a catalog item that has descriptions for every option. I understand that this can be done using a reference variable and setting the attributes to display additional columns. However, i would like to do this using a 'select box' variable that does not reference a table. Would this be possible using client scripts?

I think it is not possible for options within the Select box variable

Hi @JaimeG , 

Welcome to ServiceNow ecosystem. New to ServiceNow no worries, community is here to help. Just post your query. 

I dont recommend the reference type variable for just 3 options. Refere type is use full when system aleady has some data in some table and we can use that data. 

 

There just for 3 option, Select box is best option. You can create option with description in same line. 

Note : the text field has only 80 character length.
