Variable Formatter on the Related Field Instead of the direct target record of Record Producer

[Siva]

Hello All, 

I have a record producer targetted to entity table,  I have a control record referencing that entity. I was able to display the variable formatter on the entity table seamlessly using the same approach of creating a formatter and a macro and adding it to the form layout of the entity form as we do it in incident variable editor. 

But i am not able to identify why its not working in the control table, if  i wanted to add it, i had made necessary changes and here is my code 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
<g:requires name="scripts/js_includes_catalog.js" includes="true"/>
<g:requires name="styles/${new CatalogCssSelector().getVariableCss()}" includes="true"/>
<g:if_polaris>
<g:then>
<g:requires name="styles/${new CatalogCssSelector().getPolarisVariableCss()}" includes="true"/>
</g:then>
</g:if_polaris>
<g2:evaluate var="jvar_catalog_item">
function eval_cat_item() {
var cat_item = "";
var catItemProducedGr = new GlideRecord("sc_item_produced_record");
catItemProducedGr.addQuery("record_key", current.getValue('profile'));
catItemProducedGr.query();
gs.info("test:"+catItemProducedGr.getRowCount(),"macrotest");
if (catItemProducedGr.next())
cat_item = catItemProducedGr.getValue("producer");
return cat_item;
}
eval_cat_item();
</g2:evaluate>
<g2:evaluate var="jvar_questionset_read_only" jelly="true">
(gs.getProperty('glide.sc.evaluate.variables.write.access', true) == 'true') ? !current.variables.canWrite() : !current.canWrite();
</g2:evaluate>
<div data-sn-macro-sys-id="${jvar_macro_sys_id}">
<g2:evaluate jelly="true"> var recordObject = new GlideRecord('sn_grc_profile');
recordObject.get(current.profile);
</g2:evaluate>
<j2:set var="ref" value="recordObject" />
<j:set var="jvar_producer_target_record" value="true"/>
<g2:client_script type="catalog_item" catalogItem="$[jvar_catalog_item]"/>
<g:inline template="catalog_ui_policy.xml"/>
<g2:render_component componentName="com.glideapp.servicecatalog.DefaultQuestionEditor"/>
</div>
</j:jelly>

Could some one let me know if there is an issue in this

Hi @Siva,

My observation is its Seems like the issue in your code was the use of incorrect namespace prefixes(xmlns:j2="jelly:core" xmlns:g2="glide"). This could prevent the Jelly script from functioning as intended. Correcting these prefixes ensures that the Jelly script can properly interpret and execute your code.

Thanks -Vamsi G

@Siva 

But why to show on Control table? the variables are associated with Entity record and not Control

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

@Ankur  The review process happens by teams on the control and it would be handy for them to have the information of the variables loaded onto the control. They can still look from the reference icon of the entity field on the top. But looking to see if we can provide the formatter on to the control form directly
