Use the catalog item select box choices as input to decision table?

I want to use a decision table in my flow to determine what catalog tasks (and their assignment group) should be created based on the data that was selected when a request is submitted.

 

The catalog item uses a select box to determine the "action" to take, I want to use these choices as the input to the decision table but I don't know what table they are in so I can use them as the input choice list in a decision.  Ok, I admit this is confusing.

 

On the catalog item, the Action variable is a select box and these are the choices:

In the decision table, I want to use the question choices as the input and reference the variable choices so I don't have to maintain them in two separate areas.  What table to I select?  How can I be assured the correct list is selected since I only see one field as an option?  There is more than one catalog item variable named "Action".

have you tried Make a decision logic

Hi @gjz I was wondering if you managed to work out a solution for this, as I am trying to achieve something very similar ?

Would greatly appreciate if you are able to share any advice on this one. Many thanks.

Hello gjz,

you select the table "question_choice" (Question Choices).
Then when you define a condition column, be sure to select "Reference record" as Data to Evaluate and "is" as a Default operator.
The selection of the Value might not be easy if your instance has a lot of choices defined. Have the choice few starting characters at hand and let the autofill search for you.

Hope it helps.
