Copy variables from Catalog Item into Request form fields?

mitzaka · ‎11-01-2014

Hi SNC,

I use a catalog item which has a couple of variables for Short Description/Description. I managed to get them copied into the RITM, but I need a way to copy them into the Request (REQ) which is initially created after submission, because the first notification is actually based off the sc_request table and I need to provide users with the variable content in this first notification.

What's the easiest way to do this?

Thanks!

In my case where I wanted the Short Description field copied from variable into form, the final solution was an AFTER business rule on Requested Item table with the following script:

var request =current.request.getRefRecord();

request.short_description = current.variables.short_description;

Note: the name of my variable is short_description as well.

So that worked perfectly.

current.cat_item.field will give access to the sc_cat_item table .... (Business run would be on requested item table)

Thanks Kalai,

what will the exact script look like if I have to copy values from request to requested items form.

I think after insert/update BR has to be written on Request table for same?
