Help with script to pull Approvers approval from workflow

[Community Alums]

Hi All,

I am fairly new to the ServiceNow Development world. I am also an novice script-er   So here is my question/Issue:

I've made an order guide that contains 60+/- check boxes that each would flow to a different approver. On the back end i created a   workflow to track role approvals.This is for one of our in house ERP systems. I was able to make the workflow wait for all of the rejections and the approvals but I now have a requirement to note who approved what(which checkbox) in the worknotes of the task.   I was able to pull the approvers and their decision (rejected. no longer required, approved) but I am not sure how to get the actual Checkbox that corresponds to the approver.

I used this workflow(Massive I know!!):

This is what is currently created on the worknotes:

Here is the script I used to pull the approvers decision:

var rowCount ;

      var sc_approval = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');

      sc_approval.addQuery('sysapproval',current.sys_id);

      sc_approval.addActiveQuery();

      sc_approval.query();

  rowCount = sc_approval.getRowCount();

  while (sc_approval.next()){

  var userid = sc_approval.approver;

  sc_user= new GlideRecord('sys_user');

  sc_user.addQuery('sys_id',userid);

  sc_user.query();

  if (sc_user.next()){

  var userName = sc_user.name;

  }

  var theTaskMessage ;

  if (theTaskMessage == null){

  theTaskMessage = sc_approval.state.getDisplayValue()+' '+userName+ ' \n';

  }

  else {

  theTaskMessage = theTaskMessage + sc_approval.state.getDisplayValue()+' '+userName+ ' \n';

  }

  }

task.work_notes = theTaskMessage;

So What   I need to know is how to pull the variable that was approved form the workflow.

Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!!

Get the checkbox value as follows

current.variables.check_box_name.getDisplayValue() == 'option_name'))

replace check_box_name and option_name

Thanks

Thanks Madhusudana! so The "option_name" would be the variable name?

[Madhu27]

its true/false...checked or unchecked

in the approval record there is a field "workflow activity" this is a reference field to the workflow activity from the workflow.. you SHOULD be able to use that and your workflow to figure out what the approval was for.... make those workflow box labels clearly identify what it is for and you can just print it straight to the record from there.

if you can't do that.. what you can do is create some workflow scratchpad variables.. that have the checkbox name and then you can add approved or rejected as part of the approval/rejected workflow paths...

then print the workflow variables to the task.
