Email notification script help (Reqeust Complete)

ElizabethG22728 · an hour ago

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: ' + task.requestNumber + ' ' + 'Short description: ' + task.item + ' ');

template.print('</div>');

Modified code:

template.print('">');

template.print('Requested item number: ' + task.requestNumber + ' ' + 'Request: ' + task.item + ' ' + 'Short description: ' + task.short_description + ' ');

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
