How to extract text from Short description field?

[jackh]

HI,

In my Script Include, I need to check some text from Short description field of an Incident ticket.   Is there a variable I can use to extract the Short description field?

Thanks

Hi,

current.shortdescription will get your text from the form.

current.name of the field

Not sure if i understand fully, but in script include you can get the short description by using

current.short_description

Or

gr.short_description     //considering gr is your glide record object

[jackh]

current.short_description does pull the value from this field.   What's the max length of short description field?

Thanks

If you right click on the field itself and Configure Dictionary you can see/set that value to whatever you need.   It's max length
