Mapping variables from catalog item to Requested item

[FaizDev101]

1. Created a variable named "priority" in catalog item as type (Select box)
2. Added choices as High, medium and low with values 1, 2 and 3.

When submit the catalog item form with  priority choice according the value, Requested item (sc_req_item) "priority" field should change. How can I implement that ?

(Catalog item priority field)

(Requested item priority field)

(Note: The "priority" field in Requested item (sc_req_item) is not read only)

Hello, 

You can use a BR (On create) to update and map cat_item priorities with sc_requested_item. Idealy you can use the same values for both and hide options that you don't need

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {
	// If cat_item choices == sc_req_item choices
current.priority= current.variables.priority;
	//else If cat_item choices != sc_req_item choices
var	priority_map={"high": 1,"low": 5};
	
	current.priority= priority_map[current.variables.priority];
		

})(current, previous);

you must be using workflow or flow for your catalog item

in that workflow run script do this

current.priority = current.variables.priority; // ensure choice values are same for field and the variable

is it possible to use any onsubmit client script ?

onSubmit on catalog item won't work as by that time RITM is not yet generated

It can be done only from Workflow or Flow which is linked to your catalog item

OR

you can use before/after insert BR on RITM table -> This I won't recommend as you can directly add the logic in your workflow or flow and no need to create an extra component i.e. BR
