Hello @Community Alums , 

For my case, my action was taking a parameter with a reference type, when it's used in the script I got the error mentioned but when I changed the type of the parameter to a string (which will contain the sys id of my record) it worked fine.

My action is taking parameter of type string.

Hello I had the same error on a Script step of scoped flow Action.

Here's an extract of the script that raised this error :

        var taskVarGr = new GlideRecord("sc_item_variables_task");

        taskVarGr.initialize();

        taskVarGr.task= inputs.ctask;

Here the ctask parameter type is Reference (to table Catalog task)

To resolve this I had to change the last line to explicitly use the sys_id :

        taskVarGr.task= inputs.ctask.sys_id;

I hope this can help, I think this is a difference between the scoped and global version of the GlideRecord API.
