Dynamically update variable instructions

[W Fortune1]

Hi All,

Is there a way to dynamically update catalog variable instructions in a service portal.

I've created a variable set that includes a manager variable, and for 80% of my items it will have the instruction "Line manger of user"

However for the other 20% the text should read "Authorising manager".

I know I could create the variables for each item but I was hoping for a more elegant solution.

Thanks

William

I'm not entirely sure there's enough information to answer you but in general yes you can set a variable value dynamically. You can write a script to set the field value based on another value or parameter.

Thanks for the reply but It's not the value I want to change but the instructions.

Oh my mistake. Try checking out these links. I think they may be helpful.

Thanks again but I had already looked through those links without finding the answer.

It's not on the form but in the service portal on a widget. I'm able to update the value and the label of a variable dynamically and I was hoping for a similar method for the instructions.
