Email notification script help (Reqeust Complete)

[ElizabethG22728]

I'm trying to edit an email script (that is referenced by "Request Complete" email notification) to display the RITM short description.
The script it is referencing task.item and I think it should be referencing task.short_description (sc_request table extends to the task table). It doesn't find a value when referencing task.short_description. Just returns "undefined." I also tried sq_reqeust.task.short_description (which I didn't think would work but I'm stuck).

I was unable to copy the script so I created a new one and pasted the code from original script. This new script has as new name and is being referenced in my notification. How can I get the script to reference and display the RITM short description?

Origanl code:

        template.print('">');

        template.print('Requested item number: <b style="font-weight:600">' + task.requestNumber + '</b><br/>' + 'Short description: <b style="font-weight:600">' + task.item + '</b><br/>');

        template.print('</div>');

Modified code: 

        template.print('">');

        template.print('Requested item number: <b style="font-weight:600">' + task.requestNumber + '</b><br/>' + 'Request: <b style="font-weight:600">' + task.item + '</b><br/>' + 'Short description: <b style="font-weight:600">' + task.short_description + '</b><br/>');

        template.print('</div>');

Coding is not my skillset but I can read it for the most part and make minor tweaks. I'm stuck here.
FYI the script I'm working with is About_The_Request_Req_Survey_Req_Completed

Much Thanks!

Hello @ElizabethG22728 

Here is the Updated Email script "About_The_Request_Req_Survey_Req_Completed"  - Please find the updated code in between comments //Modified here: Starts and //Modified here: Ends

I believe 'task' is an OOTB object, so  you cannot reference short_description like 'task.short_description'. 'current' object is available so try using current.short_description.

Hi  @ElizabethG22728 

1. If notification is on sc_req_item table  then use current.short_description

Sample_code:

(function runMailScript(current, template, email, email_action, event)

{

 if (current.short_description)

{

template.print(current.short_description);

} else

{

template.print("No RITM short description available.");

}

})(current, template, email, email_action, event);

2. If notification is on sc_request table , use

a. in email script - 

   var gr = new GlideRecord("sc_req_item");

    gr.addQuery("request", current.sys_id);

    gr.query();

    while(gr.next()) {

        template.print(gr.short_description);

}

OR try with 

 current.request_item.short_description

3. If notification on task table  ,

${current.short_description}  will work

Instead of scripting, can you use the native editor w/ drag-and-drop pills?
