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?

this is returning undefined

[Edit]: nevermind, i had a typo

Thanks for letting me know.

Is there a way to dump out all of the properties available on the current object?

Do you mean to say the log file?  If so yes:

gs.info("current object: " + JSON.stringify(current));

I ran that and seem to get the object but most of the attributes do not have any values.  I am focusing on configuration_item and it appears to have nothing in it, but when I specifically create a variable like this, 

function getCiName(sys_id){

   var gr = new GlideRecord('cmdb_ci');

   gr.get(sys_id);

    return gr.name;

}

var CIname = getCiName(current.configuration_item);

I get the value placed into the CIname entry.

Example:
