create a new request from a workflow

Brian Lancaster · ‎10-19-2017

Is there a way to create a separate request from another workflow?

Hi

var cart = new Cart(null, gs.getUserID()); //Create the cart as the current user

var item = cart.addItem("sys_id of catalog item");

cart.setVariable(item, 'var name', 'value');

cart.setVariable(item, 'var name 2','other value');

var rc = cart.placeOrder();

Iakshmi,

How do you add variables to the request item? I do not see that option on 'create task'; only on 'catalog task'.

Thank you,

Lida

Hi Lida

You need to use my approach - see the first reply. You do it from a script activity.

Just creating a request with a task activity will not give you anything usefull

Hi Lars,

That is what I ended up doing, using the script activity rather than create task. Thanks.
