How to check variable is present in Variable Editor or not?

Hey,

I need a help.

How to check variable is present in Variable Editor or not in Catalog Task?

But that field is in Service Catalog.

Hi Nayan,

There are a few attributes that enable a Catalog variables visibility throughout the tool which can be edited on the 'Visibility' tab when opening the variable.

However, in order for a variable to be seen in the Variable editor on the task form, ensure the 'Global' attribute is set to true. Its a hidden attribute.

See below:

I am trying to compare in scheduled script like this -

var fc = gr.variables.ssaw_name_subcontractors;

var sc = gr.variables.ssaw_name_subcontractor2;

if(fc != '' || fc!= 'undefined' || sc == 'undefined')

                                      {

                                      str=str+"<tr>"+"<td style='border: 1px solid black'>"+gr.variables.ssaw_name_subcontractors.getDisplayValue()+"</td>";

gs.log('FC:'+ gr.variables.ssaw_name_subcontractors.getDisplayValue());

}

if(sc != '' ||   sc!='undefined' || fc =='undefined')

                                      {

                                      str=str+"<tr>"+"<td style='border: 1px solid black'>"+gr.variables.ssaw_name_subcontractors.getDisplayValue()+"</td>";

gs.log('SC:'+ gr.variables.ssaw_name_subcontractor2.getDisplayValue());

                                      }

but the names came from Catalog Task like this and i dont want to show both names at same time because that variables is depend on Short_description -

Hi Nayan,

If I understand your question correctly, you're wanting to control whether a variable is displayed on a Catalog task (on the Variable Editor section) based on the Short Description? Is that correct?

For this you could create a UI policy script for example and leverage the set the display method - g_form.setDisplay(fieldname, true/false) to control this based on your chosen condition.

Thanks,

Robbie
