How to attach new created contract record number in RITM Variable

[wefw]

Hi, 
We have a Contract number Variable in RITM which is a ReadOnly field.

we have a flow designer where we are creating new Contract record after closing the catalog task. So once the Contract record is created we need to update that record number in RITM Contract number variabale. For these we have written one script in update record action.

But this is not working, while we are testing we are getting an error as 
Error: "Cannot read property "request_item" from null,Detail: Cannot read property "request_item" from null"

Any lead Please

@wefw 

are you updating the record in subflow or main flow?

If in subflow then are you passing RITM sysId as input to subflow? if yes then ensure you give that correctly at line 2

Also you didn't update the line as per what I mentioned since that variable is reference type.

I assume step 23 is creating record into contract table, the same table being referred by that variable

    ritm.variables.contract_number = fd_data._23_create_record.record.sys_id.toString();

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

yes we are creating contract and updating record in subflow.
23 step is creating contract record
yes same table is being referred by that variable

in Subflow we are passing this

so it's a reference type input to RITM table so update as this

var ritm = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');
var ritmSysId = fd_data.subflow_inputs.sys_id.toString();
if (ritm.get(ritmSysId)) {
    ritm.variables.contract_number = fd_data._23_create_record.record.sys_id;
    ritm.update();
}

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