GlideEvaluator.evaluateString not working from the flow actions

[vishnupuli]

I am trying to use GlideEvaluator.evaluateString from the custom flow action, it is returning a null value.

If anyone encountered the same issue or having any workaround please respond here

Hi @vishnupuli 

Is your action part of a scoped application? If it is not in Global Scope, use GlideScopedEvaluator.

. Refer https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/reference/api/yokohama/server/no-namespace/c_GlideEvaluato...

Thanks and Regards

Yes Amit, action is part of Global space.

@vishnupuli 

is your flow action is global scope?

Is the script field against which you are evaluating in same scope or other scope?

what's your business requirement?

GlideEvaluator.evaluateString also works in scoped app.

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

For task_sd, i am directly getting the variable

For task_desc, I am using evaluateString and passing as a string.

Output:

If i use the same from the fix script it is executed as expected.
