Hi, i am trying to retrieve variables from a Multirow variable set to an approval notification (sysapproval_approver table), but i am have trouble with that, i tried some solutions that i have seen in the forum, but that doesn't work for me. Below the email script that i am trying to use.

 

(function runMailScript(/* GlideRecord */ current, /* TemplatePrinter */ template,
          /* Optional EmailOutbound */ email, /* Optional GlideRecord */ email_action,
          /* Optional GlideRecord */ event) {
	var record = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');
    var sysCurrentRecordSysId = current.sys_id;
    record.addQuery('sys_id', sysCurrentRecordSysId);
    record.query();
	while (record.next()) {
//Note, the value is a JSON string, so we parse it back into an obect to make it easier to work with
        var obj = JSON.parse(record.variables.request_information); //update with your variable set name
	for(var i=0; i<obj.length; i++) {
	template.print('<br/>' + 'System: ' + obj[i].system_name); 
	template.print('<br/>' + 'Profile: ' + obj[i].profile_name);
	template.print('<br/>' + 'Approver: ' + obj[i].aprovador_do_perfil);
// you copy and paste the template.print line and add more variables here	
		}
	}
}

)(current, template, email, email_action, event);

Below what is showing in the notification, its only retrieve the catalog variables and not the multirow that i setup in the mail script

Glad to know.

For that sysId you need to query the table being referred by that variable and then get the display value

(function runMailScript(/* GlideRecord */ current, /* TemplatePrinter */ template,
          /* Optional EmailOutbound */ email, /* Optional GlideRecord */ email_action,
          /* Optional GlideRecord */ event) {

    
    var record = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');
    var sysCurrentRecordSysId = current.sysapproval;
    record.addQuery('sys_id', sysCurrentRecordSysId);
    record.query();
    if (record.next()) {
        var obj = JSON.parse(record.variables.request_information); //update with your variable set name
        for(var i=0; i<obj.length; i++) {

            var rec = new GlideRecord('tableReferredBySystemName');
            rec.get(obj[i].system_name);

            var rec1 = new GlideRecord('tableReferredByProfileName');
            rec1.get(obj[i].profile_name);

            template.print('<br/>' + 'System: ' + rec.getDisplayValue()); 
            template.print('<br/>' + 'Profile: ' + rec1.getDisplayValue());
            template.print('<br/>' + 'Approver: ' + obj[i].aprovador_do_perfil);
        }
    }
}

)(current, template, email, email_action, event);
