Not able to push current.variables.requested_for value to "u_requested_for" on RITM form.

Hi All,

The approval for a catalog item is going to manager of the "u_requested_for" on the RITM form, so

I have requirement to push current.variables.requested_for value to "u_requested_for" on RITM form, so that as per variables.requested_for value should be pushed to "u_requested_for" on the RITM form as well and then as per workflow it will send the approval request as per "u_requeste.for" on the RITM.

My code:

condition on condition field: gs.getSession().isInteractive()

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

var VarReqFor = current.variables.hlr_requestedFor;
var RitmReqFor = current.opened_by;
if(current.variables.hlr_requestedFor){
//current.u_requested_for = current.variables.hlr_requestedFor;
current.setValue('u_requested_for',VarReqFor);
}

else{
//current.u_requested_for = current.opened_by;
current.setValue('u_requested_for',RitmReqFor);
}


if(current.cat_item.sys_id=='a99afbe44fa313c0605d451f0310c750'){
current.u_requested_for = current.variables.hlr_requestedFor;

var request1 = new GlideRecord('sc_request');
request1.addQuery('sys_id',current.request.sys_id);
request1.query();

if(request1.next()){
request1.requested_for=current.u_requested_for;
request1.update();
}

}
})(current, previous);

It is not working

Hi there,

If you have a workflow behind the catalog item then it is as simple as this:

Put a Run script activity right after the Begin activity and set the u_requested_for field like the below

var reqForVar= current.variables.request_for;
current.u_requested_for = reqForVar;

best regards,

Bogdan

Are u_requested for and variables.hlr_requestedFor both reference fields? Add a log to see what value and what type your VarReqFor variable is returning 

gs.log('value: ' + VarReqFor + ' type: ' + typeof VarReqFor);

Hi All,

Thanks fo your reply,

You can send approvals directly from the variables itself.

Use Advaced in Approval activity and use the following script

answer= [];

answer.push(current.variables.requested_for.toString())
