How to add variable editor for tables which are not extending task table. I have visited a servicenow docs , It says we can only have variable editor for task extended tables but my table is not extending task table , But still i uses default formatter to display variable editor(com_glideapp_questionset_default_question_editor) on custom table which is showing up variable editor, able to edit variables  in variable editor but unable to save the form . Any pointers would be helpful.

Hi,

you need to contact ServiceNow team by raising HI ticket. They will add it from their side and we are not allowed to do so from our side.

Determining whether the Variable Editor is added to a form

Hello

 

I was looking for a solution for a very similar issue. I wanted to add Variables formatter to the Enhancement form (which extends from Feature table). Initially I created a record producer and and I wanted to see the variables on the Enhancement form. To achieve that, I followed these steps: 

 

To see the Variable Editor on any other form, create your own formatter.

  1. Navigate to System UI > Formatters.
  2. Click Create New.
  3. Provide the values for the formatter.
    • If using Fuji or a later release, add the following information:

      Name: Variable Editor

      Formatter: com_glideapp_questionset_default_question_editor

      Table: Select the table whose form you would like to make the formatter available for

      Type: Formatter

      Active: true

  4. Click Submit.
  5. Navigate to the form, personalize the form, and check that the Variable Editor appears

In my case it appeared quickly. I think this feature has been updated as I did not have to raise hi ticket. 

 

Here is how it looks:
