Pass Catalog Item Variable to Workflow input

bernard6 · ‎06-15-2015

I've created a Catalog Item that has a variable to capture input needed when requesting the item. The workflow I've added to the item has a input variable. How do I pass the value supplied for the variable on the Cat item to the workflow input variable?

Hi David, if I'm not mistaken the variable and the workflow variable just need to be called the same. Just keep in mind that these names are case-sensitive.

Also, keep in mind when using a workflow for any item (for instance Request item on your case), all the variables on the request item are accessible in the workflow. You can access these by doing:

current.variables.the_name_of_the_variable

Just make sure the table on your workflow property is rightly set on the context of what current should represent. Requested Item on your case.

Thanks,

Berny

Mamoj,

You can get the variables in the same way, regardless of whether they map to fields or not. I did a few tests with different record producers writing to the incident table and was able to grab variables just fine.
