Input on server script is undefined on c.server.update()

[johnny27]

One of my work instances, the input variable on the server script remains undefined instead of being updated to a catalog item sys id whenever the select picker changes value. The correct behavior should list the name of the catalog item below the select option.

<div class="row">
       <div class="col-sm-12">
               <select ng-change="selectCatItem()"
                               ng-model="c.data.selectedCatItem"

</div>
<div class="row">
   <div class="col-sm-12">

Client Script

function($scope) {
   /* widget controller */
   var c = this;
$scope.selectCatItem = function() {
console.log("onSelect",c.data.selectedCatItem);
c.server.update();
}
}

Server Script:

(function() {
   /* populate the 'data' object */
   /* e.g., data.table = $sp.getValue('table'); */
var catItemGR = new GlideRecord('sc_cat_item');
catItemGR.addActiveQuery();
catItemGR.addNotNullQuery('short_description');
catItemGR.setLimit(5);
catItemGR.query();
data.catItemList = [];
while(catItemGR.next()) {
var n = {};
$sp.getRecordValues(n, catItemGR, 'sys_id,name');
data.catItemList.push($sp.getCatalogItem(catItemGR.sys_id));
}
gs.log(input,'ss_init');
console.log(input.selectedCatItem);
if(input.selectedCatItem!=undefined){
console.log("FOUND");
data.curCatItem = $sp.getCatalogItem(input.selectedCatItem);
}
})();

input returns undefined in the syslog every time the select option changes value.

About to flip an actual table over here. The script works in 3 other instances but my work one. But moving the input check before the rest of the script works because...

So does it mean, it(up/down) needs to be changed again when you move to Jakarta? Strange! I have been wondering myself. Your original code works on both my work(Helsinki) and personal instances(Jakarta).

Thanks

Best,
