How to use variable in encoded query?

[Admin7267]

I don't want to use the hardcoded value of SYS ID in the script. How to store Sys ID and use it in the encoded query in widget?

 if (input && input.action == 'submit' && ritmGr.get(ritmSysId)) {
 var cbt = input.prefTime;
 ritmGr.variables.preferred_callback_time = cbt;
 var gr = new GlideRecord('question_choice');
 gr.addEncodedQuery("question=e91707e01b571110c8f821f72a4bcba4^value=" + cbt);  //Sys ID shouldn't be hardcoded
 gr.query();
 if (gr.next()) {
 ritmGr.comments.setJournalEntry("Callback time has been updated to: " + grQ.getValue('text'));
 }
 new global.Workflow().restartWorkflow(ritmGr, true);
 ritmGr.update();
    }

Hello @Admin7267 

Use like this :-

var sysID = e91707e01b571110c8f821f72a4bcba4;
gr.addEncodedQuery("question="+sysID+"^value=" + cbt); 

Plz mark my solution as Accept, If you find it helpful.

You can store the sys_id in system property and use the system property while calculations:

1) Create a system property (sys_properties.LIST) <-> New  <-> provide a name in it <-> Save

2) Fetch the value from system property as

gs.getProperty("Name_of_the_property");

var sys = gs.getProperty("name_of_the_property");
 gr.addEncodedQuery("question=" + sys +"^value=" + cbt);  //Sys ID shouldn't be hardcoded

In future if you want to update the value you can directly change into the system property and it will reflect in the code
