How to replace string value in a workflow script?

[ishaanvohra]

Hello,

I have written a script in workflow and in that I have used the "replace" to replace the value in string value which I am getting through current.variables.

var Environment_Name = current.variables.Environment_Name ;

gs.info("varable value ",Environment_Name);

var env = Environment_Name.replace("Replace : ", "Hello");

variables.setDisplayValue('default_value',env);

variables.update();

Is there anything wrong with this script because it is storing "undefined " in the variable field.If I remove this "replace("Replace : ", "Hello")" then value stores perfectly in the variable. Can someone please tell where I am going wrong? Why is it showing undefined in variable value while using "replace"?

Can you please provide some example data?   For example is the Environment_Name variable a string and if so what is an example value?

This code isn't correct as "variables" isn't an available object:

variables.setDisplayValue('default_value',env);

variables.update();

You would need:

current.variables.default_value.setDisplayValue(env);

current.update();

Hi Michael,

This is the complete code.And assume sample data to be "Replace : xyz" and I want to remove "Replace : " and want to store "xyz" in that.

var variables=new GlideRecord("item_option_new");

var Environment_Name = current.variables.Environment_Name ;

gs.info("varable value ",Environment_Name);

var env = Environment_Name.replace("Replace : ", "Hello");

variables.setDisplayValue('default_value',env);

variables.update();

Hi Ishaan,

Try this... (bold indicates what I changed)

var Environment_Name = current.variables.Environment_Name.toString() ;

gs.info("varable value " + Environment_Name);

var env = Environment_Name.replace("Replace : ", "Hello");

variables.setDisplayValue('default_value',env);

// variables.update(); // No such method update() for variables object
