Populate List Collector Variable from String Array (Service Portal)

[JJG]

I have a string array that I would like to pass to a list collector variable. Unfortunately it is only setting the last object in the array. How can I make it populate the entire array?

Script: 

var seperate = answer.split(',');  // "answer" is a comma seperated string



for (var i = 0; i < seperate.length; i++) {


g_form.setValue("test_list_collector_variable", seperate[i]);


}

Hi,

You'd use:

g_form.setValue("test_list_collector_variable", seperate.join(','));

Please also check your script for spacing issues...you have spaces all in your script (that may be a result of your copy/paste, but I'm mentioning it just in case).

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!

Unfortunately it is still just adding one array object to the list collector.

var seperate = answer.split(',');

g_form.setValue("test_list_collector_variable", seperate.join(','));

Hi,

That's because you're iterating through them in a for loop.

You don't need it. Which is why I didn't cover that above.

You can add them in straight away, without looping through and adding them one at a time. When you use setValue, it's only going to set the value of that field to what you tell it. So if you're looping through 15 times, it's not setting 15 values...it's setting 1 value 15 different times, with the last being what the end result would be.

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!

I got rid of the for loop and it didn't work.

var seperate = answer.split(',');

g_form.setValue("test_list_collector_variable", seperate.join(','));
