  "error": {
    "message": "com.glide.rest.domain.ServiceException: Exception while reading request",
    "detail": ""
  },
  "status": "failure"
}

var cart = new sn_sc.CartJS();
var item = { // Note that values using CartJS are instantiated via a JSON object
	'sysparm_id': '060f3afa3731300054b6a3549dbe5d3e',
	'sysparm_quantity': '1',
	'variables': {
		'requested_for': 'David Cher',
		
	}
};
var cartVals = cart.addToCart(item); // The addToCart function returns a JSON object reflecting the status of the cart
var checkoutVals = cart.checkoutCart(); // The checkoutCart function returns a JSON object with info about the submitted cart, contents varying if two-step checkout is active

Hello,

Requested for is a field on request table, doesn't necessarily have to be a variable on maintain item until unless you created that variable. In above JSON body it looks like the requested for is assigned inside variable object.

@Ankur Bawiskar 

do you mean to use this in the REST API explorer ?

var id = GlideGuid.generate(null); // Generate a new GUID
var cart = new Cart(id); // Instantiate a fresh cart
var RITM = cart.addItem('060f3afa3731300054b6a3549dbe5d3e');  // The value used here is the sys_id of our laptop catalog itemcart.setVariable(RITM,'ram','16');       /**/cart.setVariable(RITM,'os','win10');     /* Catalog item variables can be populated */  
cart.setVariable(RITM,'storage','1tb');  /**/
var request = cart.placeOrder();  // The placeOrder() function returns a GlideRecord for the sc_request record it generates
