Switch Syntax for populating Catalog Task Short Desc from Workflow

[jlaps]

The final wording of my short description text is not working, and I was hoping for some guidance on where I am going wrong with it

// Set values for the task in this script.  Use the variable 'task' when setting additional values.
// Note: This script is run after the task values are set using the Fields, Template or Values you have specified.
//
// For example:

var type = '';
var dept = current.variables.department;
switch (dept){
	case "bid_strategy":
		type = current.variables.bid_strategy_type.getDisplayValue();
		break;
	case "commercial":
		type = current.variables.commercial_request_type.getDisplayValue();
		break;
	case "contracts":
		type = current.variables.contracts_request_type.getDisplayValue();
		break;
	case "executive":
		type = current.variables.executive_request_type.getDisplayValue();
		break;
	case "fps":
		type = current.variables.fps_request_type.getDisplayValue();
		break;
	case "marketing":
		type = current.variables.marketing_request_type.getDisplayValue();
		break;
	case "pricing":
		type = current.variables.pricing_request_type.getDisplayValue();
}
task.short_description = "RevOps Support Request - "+current.variables.requested_for.name +" - "+current.variables.department.getDisplayValue() +" - "+type;

The +type at the end is not working, and just coming back blank. What am I doing wrong, and what is the best way to fix? Thanks!

current.variables.department doesn't give you string, so adding that '' makes that object as string and then it can be compared in switch
