how to get the display value of a sys id being used in an array

[sohan_snow]

Hi All,

I need to get the assignment group of a catalog task on the description. The below scripts is working except for printing the Display value of the Grouip

grpp=[];

for(i=0;i<grpp.length;i++)
{
var gr= new GlideRecord('sc_task');
gr.request_item=current.sys_id;
gr.short_description='bingo fullillment group is : ' +grpp[i].getDisplayValue();                               //   Using grpp[i].getDisplayValue();   returns undefined
gr.description='bingo - description of this RITM';
gr.assignment_group=grpp[i];
gr.insert();
}

Catalog tasks are getting created as intended

Thanks in advance

Hi

thanks for your help, still the group display value came to be undefined

update workflow script code

var grp= new access007();
var grpp='';
var grpp= grp.getgroup();
gs.log('yes, the group returned is = '+grpp.getDisplayValue());
gs.log('yes, the group length is ='+grpp);

for(i=0;i<grpp.length;i++)
{

var gr= new GlideRecord('sc_task');
gr.request_item=current.sys_id;
current.variables.dummy = grpp[i];
gr.short_description='bingo fullillment group is : ' +current.variables.dummy.getDisplayValue();

//gr.short_description='bingo fullillment group is : ' +grpp[i].getDisplayValue();
gr.description='bingo - description of this RITM';
gr.assignment_group=grpp[i];
gr.insert();
gs.log('yes, the group display name is :'+grpp[i].name );
}

I doubt the array has any values.

please try the following to check values in the array

gr.request_item=current.sys_id;

current.variables.dummy   = grpp[i];

//gr.short_description='bingo fullillment group is : ' +grpp[i].getDisplayValue();

//gr.short_description='bingo fullillment group is : ' +current.variables.dummy.getDisplayValue();

gr.short_description='bingo fullillment group is : ' + grpp[i];

hi shiladitya,

the array has the sys id of the group stored, please find the below screenshot

okay, seems WF is not using ArrayUtil();

try this...

function retGrpName(val){

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');  

gr.addQuery('sys_id',val);  

gr.query();  

while (gr.next()) {

      return gr.name;

}

},

gr.request_item=current.sys_id;

current.variables.dummy   = grpp[i];

gr.short_description='bingo fullillment group is : ' + retGrpName(grpp[i]);
