How to filter a catalog item reference variable based on the logged-in user’s segment description.

[Ryota]

In a catalog item reference variable that uses the cmdb_ci_business_app table as the reference, how can I configure it so that, when the logged-in user’s segment description field in the sys_user table is “AAA”, only records whose Owning organization field in the cmdb_ci_business_app table is “AAA” are displayed as selectable options?

Hi @Ryota ,

you can simply right the advanced reference qualifier as below,

javascript: 'owning_organization='+gs.getUser().getRecord().getValue('segment_description');

Replace with your field names in the above reference qualifier.

something like this but please enhance, this should work in both scope app + global scope 

Note: I assume both the fields 1 that is on sys_user and other on cmdb_ci_business_app are of same type

javascript:
var query = '';
var val = '';
var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user");
gr.addQuery("sys_id", gs.getUserID());
gr.query();
if (gr.next()) {
    val = gr.owningFieldName.toString();
}
query = 'owning_organization=' + val;
query;
