Question on using setNewGuid() on scoped app

[Naresh291]

Hi ,

I have a workflow which will create a catalog task , so in the advanced section of the catalog task activity i have  scripted this way :

workflow.scratchpad.sys_id= task.setNewGuidValue();

Dont know why i am getting the sysid as undefined and workflow goes crazy post that.

If i use workflow.scratchpad.sys_id= task.setNewGuidValue(String value); 

it shows me an error in this particular line .

Can someone say how to use this in scoped app.

I've never had much success with setNewGuidValue() in a scoped app; seems like it is intended more to allow you to set an externally generated sys_id than it is to allow you to record the ID of a record. 

For catalog tasks, the only work-around I've come upon would be do something like this at the end of your catalog task script: 

workflow.scratchpad.sys_id = task.insert();

That creates the record and stores the sys_id as the script completes.

I hope this helps!

If this was helpful or correct, please be kind and remember to click appropriately!
