Need help on getting the sys id of the catalog task in workflow

[shaik_irfan]

Hi,

On the workflow i have a catalog task i need to get the sysID and the assignment group, can anyone please help me how to get this

Above is my workflow, i tried with below scrip in the catalog task activity but it is giving me the null value

// For example:
// task.short_description = current.short_description;

workflow.scratchpad.acbcd = task.sys_id + "Testing";

Hi,

In the initial task you can use the following to save the sys_id

workflow.scratchpad.taskid = task.setNewGuid();

You can then use the following to retrieve any information about that task in the future.

var taskGR = new GlideRecord('sc_task');
if(taskGR.get(workflow.scratchpad.taskid)){

var group = taskGR.getValue('assignment_group');

}

Or use flow designer and make life 10x easier!

Thank You @Kieran Anson 

I never thought we can create a sys id from the catalog task activity. I agree to use flow designer but unfortunately its a old legacy workflow so updating the workflow

If above script does not work, try with below script

Eg:

Use below script in catalog task activity 

var id = gs.generateGUID();
task.setNewGuidValue(id);
workflow.scratchpad.myCustID = id; 

Then use log in run script activity. 

gs.log('Value is '+workflow.scratchpad.myCustID);
