Script Variables in workflow

Andy Pickles · ‎02-15-2022

Hi All,

Im making a workflow for a request.

Its all working well but im struggling with one bit ..

There is an approval widget and the 'approved' branch then goes to a new catalog task.

In that catalog task, I want to reference the name of the person who approved it.

So for example, somewhere in the description of the catalog task , i would like a line that says "this has been approved by xxxx"

But i cant find a way to reference the approvers name - can anyone help me with a way to achieve this please ?

Many thanks

Hi,

There can be one person approving it or more than 1 also approving it for say Group Approval is there are any. So I would suggest here is write a Script in the Advanced section of your Catalog task activity and use the script below:

var gr = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');
gr.addQuery('sysapproval',current.sys_id);
gr.addQuery('state','approved');
gr.query();
while(gr.next()){
task.description = 'This Request has been approved by ' + gr.getDisplayValue('approver');
}

Use this script in the screenshot below in Catalog Task activity itself:
