Fetch a value from dropdown select box in workflow

[Hemamani Prabha]

Hello all,

I have a requirement in which I need to fetch the value of a selected option of a dropdown field from a table and set it in a variable and show in the task description. I need to do this scripting part in the workflow. Can someone help me how to achieve this ? This is how I tried, but not working

var comp = gr.u_computer.getOption('.u_computer', value).text;
var description = "Provide computer to" + gr.requested_for.getDisplayValue() + ":" comp "\n\n";

Hi @Hemamani Prabha,

var ga  = new GlideRecord('computer_table);
ga.addQuery('add your query here')';
ga.Query();
if(ga.next()){
var comp = ga.u_computer.getDisplayValue(); // try with toString() as well
task.description = "Provide computer to" + gr.requested_for.getDisplayValue() + ":" comp "\n\n";
}

Mark this answer as correct and helpful if it solves your issue.

Hi @Hemamani Prabha 
Try this,Chang the highlighted parts in the code:

var comp = gr.u_computer.getDisplayValue();
var description = "Provide computer to" + gr.requested_for.getDisplayValue() + ":" +comp +"\n\n";

We need to add + before and after comp to concatenate
