Getting the requested_for value

ceraulo · ‎10-24-2018

Hello!

I have a catalog item workflow that needs to populate the short_description field. The script is:

task.short_description = "This is a request for " + current.request.requested_for.toString();

However this is not working. The fields (ex. Requested_for) is populated from an integration with another application.
The requested_for field is populated correctly but I am unable to extract and use it in the task's short description.

Please help!

Thank you.

Also note that the workflow timings of the request/request item generation are kind of strange. If you're doing this right at the very beginning of your workflow, try putting in a 5 second timer right before to allow enough wait time for the request and item to be created and linked fully before this step.

Try

task.short_description = "This is a request for " + current.request.requested_for.getDisplayValue();
