How to get Catalog Item's variable in the Workflow Activity condition?

[prabhmeet]

Hi,

I have made a catalog item where there is a selectbox 'Request Type' with choices - create, change, access, remove.

Now I have to create the workflow for the catalog item.

For example - if choice selected is by user is 'Create'  then approval by a Group is required. If approved, it is assigned to another group for creation.

So, when I drag activity Approval- By Group on the workflow editor, how do I write the condition that request_type is create?

I am a newbie so can anyone explain how to create the workflow for the case I have mentioned?

Try this

current.variables.REQUEST_TYPE_VARIABLE_NAME == 'create'

Hi, I have used an if condition activity for this and written the following code -

answer = ifScript();

function ifScript() {

if (current.variables.request_type == 'create' || current.variables.request_type == 'remove' || ){
return 'yes';
}
return 'no';

}

But this is not working. Can you help with this?

Try below code,

answer = (current.variables.request_type == 'create_database_value'  || current.variables.request_type == 'remove_database_value') ? 'yes':'no';
