Hello,
To modify the show_ritm_option_vals email script and ensure that unwanted content like "formatter" labels and unnecessary display labels are removed, you can take the following steps:
1. Skip Formatter Variables:
Formatters (such as section breaks) can appear in the results and clutter the display. You can filter them out by checking the type of the variable. If a variable is a formatter, it will often have specific types such as "formatter", "macro", etc. You can check for these and exclude them from the output.
Add a check to skip formatters:
template.print("Options:<br><br>");
var keys = new Array();
var set = new GlideappVariablePoolQuestionSet();
set.setRequestID(item.sys_id);
set.load();
var vs = set.getFlatQuestions();
for (var i = 0; i < vs.size(); i++) {
var question = vs.get(i);
// Check if the question is a formatter or has display label set to false
var questionType = question.getType();
var displayLabel = question.getDisplayLabel();
// Skip formatters or questions where displayLabel is false or empty
if (questionType == 'formatter' || displayLabel == 'false' || displayLabel == '') {
continue;
}
// Print the label and value
template.space(4);
template.print(' ' + question.getLabel() + " <strong>" + question.getDisplayValue() + "</strong><br>");
}
Explanation:
Check for the questionType:
- The code checks question.getType() to filter out formatters and other unnecessary elements. If the type is "formatter", the loop will skip to the next variable.
Check for displayLabel:
- If the display label is set to false or is empty (displayLabel == 'false' || displayLabel == ''), the loop will skip the question to avoid including unnecessary or hidden labels.
2. Remove Duplicate Labels:
If you have multiple display labels that are not needed, you can use a Set to keep track of the labels that have already been printed, ensuring you only show each label once.
template.print("Options:<br><br>");
var keys = new Array();
var set = new GlideappVariablePoolQuestionSet();
set.setRequestID(item.sys_id);
set.load();
var vs = set.getFlatQuestions();
var printedLabels = new Set(); // To track unique labels
for (var i = 0; i < vs.size(); i++) {
var question = vs.get(i);
// Check if the question is a formatter or has display label set to false
var questionType = question.getType();
var displayLabel = question.getDisplayLabel();
// Skip formatters, empty or false display labels
if (questionType == 'formatter' || displayLabel == 'false' || displayLabel == '') {
continue;
}
// Skip if the label has already been printed
if (printedLabels.has(question.getLabel())) {
continue;
}
// Add label to the set and print the label and value
printedLabels.add(question.getLabel());
template.space(4);
template.print(' ' + question.getLabel() + " <strong>" + question.getDisplayValue() + "</strong><br>");
}
Key Adjustments:
- Tracking Printed Labels: Using a Set called printedLabels, the script ensures that each label is only printed once.
- Continued Filtering: The script continues to skip unnecessary items based on their type and display label properties.
With these changes, the email output should be much cleaner, displaying only the necessary variables while skipping unwanted formatters and duplicate display labels.
