Setting requested for field using Cart API

[Eli Guttman]

Hi,

I'm working on a script that will created request item. i found the cart API, which seems like a good way to achieve it, including the option to set values in variables.

However, i'm not sure how i can set fields values (not variables) using the API -Service Catalog Script API - ServiceNow Wiki

For example, i would like to set a value for the requested for field.

Anyone know how do to it?

Hello,

I think you might have to modify the OOTB script include "Cart", as this is the instantiated class. 😞 ...(I kind of sometimes dont like doing this, because updates to this class get missed when you upgrade to a newer version). Its your call !

This is what i did OOTB in istanbul.

Go to script include called 'Cart'.

Replace the method

      getCart: function() {

              var cart = GlideappCart.getCartForRhino(this.cartName, this.userID);

  var record = cart.getGlideRecord(); // gets the new glide record item

  record.setValue('requested_for', this.userID);   // set the requested for

  record.update(); // enforce the update

              return record; //return the new object

      },

This is what i used to create a new item

var cart = new Cart('e2132865c0a8016500108d9cee411699','62826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5df1'); // sys id of item and user (abel tuter);

cart.addItem('e2132865c0a8016500108d9cee411699'); // add item

cart.placeOrder();

gs.addInfoMessage(cart.number);

Good Luck ! Let me know if it work.

By the way you can see which scripts are not upgraded in the upgrade log, so you can always force it to use the new version
