Hello: I have the code below on a workflow. The code is working but I need to populate the following fields: "Requested For", "Category" and "Subcategory". Any suggestions on how to do this?
inc = new GlideRecord('incident'),
fs_desc = s_descritpion1.concat(" ", location);
f_desc = Incident_description.concat(" : ", name);
inc.initialize();
inc.short_description = fs_desc;
inc.description = f_desc;
inc.assignment_group = 'ABCD';
inc.insert();
Thanks,
Solved! Go to Solution.

Then something like:
inc.requested_for = gs.getUserID();
Do check what the correct field name is though. Because out-of-the-box there's no requested_for on Incident, there should be a caller_id field. But you can check that.
If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Hi there,
You can just add things like:
inc.category = 'your_category_value';
inc.subcategory = 'your_subcategory_value';
What's the issue you are running into?

Hello Mark! fs_desc and f_descare are variables for "description" and "short description" and these two are populating those fields correctly.
