How to get workflow context id, inside a custom activity where this activity is used

[ashwani_eshoppi]

I have a created a custom activity of type run script ,

and calling a Rest Message post function

var sm = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2("ABC","post");

var url= "https://<instance name>/api/<namespace>/"+workflow.getUniqueValue();

And passing this as request body to the rest message.

I need the context id of the workflow in which this custom activity gets included in.

But when i run the workflow in which this custom activity gets included, i get error message --> workflow is not defined.

Any idea how to get workflow context sys id within the custom activity?

Anyone has any idea to share here?

You would access it from a Run Script inside the workflow as:

var workflowContextID = current.context.sys_id;

Please mark this post helpful and/or answered if you found it as such.

current.context.sys_id doesn't seem to work in Helsinki when ran in a Run Script activity.  

current.getTableName() return wf_workflow_execution as the table.   This table doesn't have the context field.

Late to the party...

current.context will work IF there is a context reference field on your table that has something in it.

Have a look at tables and columns..context field is on the base task table and so suggest extending from that to get the field and what ever populates it..BR probably.
