How to access a variable on a catalog task?

[PranavSuj96]

Hello all,

I am writing an onSubmit script which will not allow the user to close the task if a variable from the catalog item that I display on the catalog task (I display it by selecting it in the workflow using the slushbucket). I tried using g_form.getValue('variables.variable_name'). This seems to not work...

Any ideas why? I'll post the script below. Also the onsubmit script is also preventing saving/updating..

Script:

function onSubmit() {

 if(g_form.getActionName('close_task') && g_form.getValue('short_description') == 'Precheck for Server Snapshot' && (g_form.getValue('variables.mc_storage')!='false' || g_form.getValue('variables.mc_storage')!='true')) {
  var val = g_form.getValue('variables.mc_storage');
  alert(val.getDisplayValue());
  return false;
 }
 return true;
}

This will work I just tested it.

alert("Testing reference variable " + g_form.getDisplayBox("variables.requested_for").value);

That's a reference variable. Let me know how it goes

Hey Joel,

This is only used for a reference field right? My variable is multiple choice field.

See if you can bring up the JavaScript Executor window by pressing <Control><Shift><Alt><j>

This will allow you to validate your script is working as expected. Try isolating the portions of the if condition, then building from there. 

Is mc_storage a reference field? If it is, you cannot use the getDisplayValue() methodl

Hey,

It's a multiple choice field with values True/False
