How to set the value of a variable in a variable set for different Catalog Items

[ID NOBLE]

Hello,

I have a requirement to set the value of a variable created in a variable set. For instance, we have a Variable Set named "Regional Accounts" variable set. And in the variable set, we have a Variable named "Location". So, I was asked to set the value of that variable "LOCATION" for a particular Catalog Item because the value of "LOCATION" variable differs by the different Catalog Items we have.

How can I achieve this please?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @ID NOBLE 

You can write a onLoad client script within the variable set and read the current catalog name and set the location column value.

function onLoad(control, isLoad, isTemplate) {
    // Get the current catalog item
    var catalogItem = g_form.getParameter('sysparm_catalog_view');

    // Check if the catalog item name matches a specific value
   // replace the catalog item sys_id 
    if (catalogItem === 'sys_id of catalog1') {
        // Catalog item name matches, perform desired actions
        // For example, you can display a message or set a field value
        g_form.setValue("location", '<LocationValue1>'); // update the corrent variable name for location field
    } else if (catalogItem === 'sys_id of catalog2') {
       g_form.setValue("location", '<LocationValue2>'); // update the corrent variable name for location field
    }
}
