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

Are you using this in a WF Script ? If yes, then the following logic will work

create a dummy custom.variables e.g. custom.variables.dummy

Make sure grpp[i] has value in it first...

e.g:-

gr.request_item=current.sys_id;

custom.variables.dummy   = grpp[i];

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

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

Hi Shiladitya,

Thanks for your help. I tried with the code but got the below error. should I be defining "custom" somewhere something like var custom=''; or var customer=[];

Using that script: just

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

Sorry typo mistake..

Instead of custom use current

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();
