Using workflow.scratchpad.<variable> in script Include

[SHA3]

Hi Experts,

Is it possible to use output of a run script activity from workflow in workflow.scratchpad.<var> in script include and then use it in UI Action to control its visibility.

Ask here is. In UI Action condition: Script Include will be called and based workflow.scratchpad.<var> the visibility of the UI Action to be controlled.

Appreciate your responses.

Hi Shilpa,

please check the below thread.

Simply you can retrieve it in your script include function.

Hi Harsh,

I have already tried this. I am getting Undefined as the result when i try to print it in gs.log.

Below is my function in script include:

checkworkflow: function() {

  //get the workflow script include helper

  var msg = '';

  var workflow = new Workflow();

  //get the requested items workflow context

  //this will get all contexts so you'll need to get the proper one if you have multiple workflows for a record

  var context = workflow.getContexts(current);

  //make sure we have a valid context

  if (context.next()) {

  //get a value from the scratchpad

  msg = context.scratchpad.important_msg;

  //msg now equals "scratch me", that was set in the run script activity

  gs.log("Message equals = "+ msg +' '+current.number);

  }

Log output looks like : Hello World undefined RITM0010049
