Hi there,
How are you setting the short description? Thru workflow script for example? Out-of-the-box without scripting it is the Catalog Item name I believe.
Do you want the short description updated for all Requested Items? Or only certain Requested Items?
You could write a Business rule, which on update, updates the short description of the Requested Item.
If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.
Kind regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,
I wanted the short description to be updated based on variable in teh catalog item. If variable changes, catalog item short description should be changed

Hi there,
You may refer the below code snippet and modify as per your requirement.
var shortDesc= current.variables.variable_name.getDisplayValue(); //pass the variable name here
task.short_description = "Short description is populated dynamically: " + shortDesc;
Hope this helps. Please mark the answer Correct/Helpful based on the impact.
