Containers in ServiceNow Portal

Hey everyone!

 

I'm trying to change the layout of my catalog item variables using Container Start, Container Split, and Container End so my catalog will look like this:

I successfully managed to do this for the "Department" and "Other Department" variables since they are not part of a variable set. However, the "Requested for" and "Requested for Phone" variables, which are part of a variable set, appear correctly in the backend service catalog but not in the portal.

Can someone help me understand why this is happening and how to fix it?

I tried using containers, but they are not effective when used within a variable set.

Make sure you have the layout set in the variable set to 2 Columns. You wont need a split there.

I did, but then it looked like this:

Eventually, I found it useful to use a couple of variable sets instead of one.
