What is the "current" object in a catalog item?

[Community Alums]

I need to get the name of a catalog item into a script include from a reference qualifier. I was going to use the "current" object, but I can't figure out what type of record it is, and i need to know that in order to dot-walk.

Help?

Hello Andrew,

"Current object" refers to the current record being referenced. You can use current to pass to the script include, like ScriptInclude(current.cat_item.name), then in the script include, you have myScriptInclude(catItemName)

Pradeep,

Thanks for your help. I knew the current object was generally the current record you were work with, but in this case I wasn't getting results for "current.name" for example.

im passing in current.cat_item.name, and logging it to see what i get, and it's coming back undefined. I guess I could do a query since current.cat_item is giving me the item's sys_id but I'd rather not do another query if at all possible.

use current.cat_item in reference qualifier// you will get the sys_id of the catalog item.

further if you need name of catalog item, then gliderecord on sc_cat_item table.

You can dot-walking to get the name of the catalog item as current.cat_item.name
