How to Get SC Task Closed Date in Flow Designer Script Step

[LokeshwarRV]

Hi Community,

I'm working with Flow Designer and I have a flow triggered by an SC Task. I want to retrieve the closed_at date of that SC Task and use it in a Flow variable called revokeAccess.

// i am using this in my background script to get the closed date help me to get in my flow script

var taskGR = new GlideRecord('sc_task');

if (taskGR.get(fd_data.sys_id)) {

    var closedAt = new GlideDateTime(taskGR.closed_at);

    return closedAt.toString();

}

Hi @LokeshwarRV 

you should do it via GlideRecord instead of GlideDateTime

@LokeshwarRV 

if the flow trigger is on sc_task you can directly access the closed_at field.

Why to use Flow variable?

IF you still require then

you can use "Set Flow Variables" flow logic and use script to set the value

something like this in the f(x) inline script

return fd_data.trigger.current.closed_at.toString();

Hi @LokeshwarRV !!

Since your flow is already triggered by an SC Task, you don’t need to query the sc_task table again with a GlideRecord. The triggering record is already available in Flow Designer.

Best practice (no script required)

1. Create your flow variable revokeAccess (type: Date/Time).

2. When setting the value, simply use the data pill:

Trigger → SC Task → Closed at

This directly gives you the closed_at value of the SC Task.

If you need to use a Script step

If you want to process the value in a Run Script action, reference the trigger record instead of using a new GlideRecord:

(function execute(inputs, outputs) {

    if (inputs.task.closed_at) {
        var closedAt = new GlideDateTime(inputs.task.closed_at);
        outputs.revokeAccess = closedAt.getValue();
    }

})(inputs, outputs);

Configuration:

• Input:
  task → Data pill → Trigger → SC Task

• Output:
  revokeAccess → Date/Time (or String)
