Hi Ashwini

In your catalog task activity , use below code in script section.

var desc;

desc += "Item Name :"+current.cat_item.name;

desc += "Requested For :"+current.request.requested_for.getDisplayValue();

desc += "Requested For :"+current.request.requested_for.user_name;

task.short_description =desc;

Hi Ashwini

You can add reference qualifier to your variable.
