scripting short description in flow designer

[Baggies]

I am just beginning to use Flow Designer instead of workflows.
In  the Create Catalog Task action, I want to script the Short Description with text and the variable answers.
In workflow you can use something like:  task.short_description = "This is my text" + current.variables.VARIABLE_NAME;
But this throws an error when I use it in a flow.

I did try dragging the 'pills' from "Get catalog variable" but all they did was return the variable name, like 'variable_name' and the requested for name as a sys_id.

What I would like to do is have the short description say 'catalog item name' + for + 'requested for name'.

Any help appreciated, stay safe.

Hello Mark,

I am able to get the required output via drag and drop of  data pills.Screenshot attached for reference.

Thanks Pradeep, but I am trying to get the variables in there too.

yup so assigned_to->name is a catalog variable in my case.

assigned_to is a variable on your catalog task form? Why would you have a variable name the same as a form field? To reference a variable you would have to script something like ....current.variables.VAR_NAME
