Hello everyone,
I have a subflow which is submitting a Catalog Item and outputting the Request details (Request Number and Sys ID):
As you can see below, subflow output is returning the correct thing:
This is the way I am calling the flow (this is practically using the boiler plate ServiceNow provide (Create Code Snippet):
addToCart: function(){
try {
gs.info('cris flow'); // shows in logs
var currUser = gs.getUserID();
var inputs = {};
inputs['cart'] = this.getParameter('sysparm_citem'); // String
inputs['requested_for'] = this.getParameter('sysparm_reqfor'); // String
inputs['opened_by'] = currUser; // String
gs.info('cris flow mid'); // shows in logs
// Start Asynchronously: Uncomment to run in background. Code snippet will not have access to outputs.
// sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().subflow('global.acosubmitcatitem').inBackground().withInputs(inputs).run();
// Execute Synchronously: Run in foreground. Code snippet has access to outputs.
var result = sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().subflow('global.acosubmitcatitem').inForeground().withInputs(inputs).run();
gs.info('cris flow result' + result); //does NOT show in logs
var outputs = result.getOutputs(); // does NOT get set
gs.info('cris flow output ' + outputs['request']); //does NOT show in logs
return outputs; // client side receives null
} catch (ex) {
var message = ex.getMessage();
gs.error(message);
}
}
The subflow creates the Request and Request Item fine and returns the correct outputs, but I am not able to pass back the sys_id of the newly created Request to the client side (using the AJAX above) Since I am not able to grab the flow outputs in the script include because the 'getOutputs()' is receiving nothing.
Any ideas why this might be occuring? One thing that might be worth mentioning is that the flow is in global scope and the script include is scoped in my app.
Thanks!
