Hi,

I have a task record that being created using a record producer.

Is there any way to get all visible fields and all visible variables on the form using a business rule.
The goal is to make a pdf file and attach it to the record that will contains all visible fields and visible variables and there corresponding values

Hi,

What's the use of a PDF containing all the visible fields on the form ?
All the data is already there, visible on the form, then why the PDF ?

Yes, it’s possible, but a Business Rule can’t directly know the client-side visibility of fields. You can use GlideRecord and dictionary metadata for fields, and access the record producer variables separately.

I’d recommend having the Business Rule call a Script Include that collects the required label/value pairs, generates the PDF, and attaches it with GlideSysAttachment.

Yes, but not directly from a Business Rule. A Business Rule can read the record fields and variable values, but the form/UI controls visibility. You’ll need to reproduce the visibility logic server-side or use a suitable PDF/reporting approach to generate the attachment.

@Alon Grod 

what's the business requirement here?

In server side you won't know which variables are visible or not.
