Flow Designer - List Collector variables displaying sysid's instead of actual names.

[Community Alums]

Hi,

I have a list collector variable in a catalog item, and when I use the variable in the short description of the 'Create Catalog task' within flow designer, it is displaying the sysid's of that list collector variable. Can you please share the script where I can display the names instead of sys_id's.

Regards

Hello @Community Alums ,

Instead of this please use Script for shortdescription and use .getDisplayValue();

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

I tried it already, it throws me an error. All the variables are active though.

Hi,

This can be done by first storing the needed data in a Flow variable, then use that data when creating your Catalog task.

Steps are as follows:

1. Do a lookup records on the table containing your List data (your list collector that now contains the SysIDs)

2. For each record found, store the needed data in the Flow variable (append data after the first record).

3. Then use the Flow variable data to add text into the creation of the Catalog task.
