Get system properties from categories and use the properties in script

[Linda Kendrick]

Is is possible call a specific system properties category and then loop through the system properties to add an array list?

[vibhor_dwivedi]

Yes . It is possible to store categories as comma separated value in a new property.

Create a new property.

Store categories in property value as comma separated.

Write a script include or UI script which will return the list of Categories as array.

Use the array where ever required.

This is what I ended up using.

  if ((email.subject.indexOf("Matches this subject") > -1))

  {

  var arr1 = [];

  var m2m = new GlideRecord('sys_properties_category_m2m');

  m2m.addQuery('category.name', 'ReplacewithCATEGORYNAME');

  m2m.query();

  while (m2m.next()) {

  arr1.push(m2m.property.value);}

  gs.log('checking array for values:');

  for(var i=0,len=arr1.length;i!=len;i++) {

  gs.log('sys prop from array: ' + arr1[i]); }

  current.watch_list.setValue(arr1.join());

  current.assignment_group.setDisplayValue('ReplacewithAssignmentGroup');

  current.category = "network";

  current.subcategory = "Auto-alert";
