Hi Siddharam,

 

Basically, Work Notes and Comments are Journal Input type of field in ServiceNow.

To get or print the values from those fields we use getJournalEntry() method.

 

For Example : Given 1 in the method to copy the latest work notes.

Written a BR on Incident Task Table to copy the Work Notes from Incident to Incident Task.

 

var inc = new GlideRecord("incident");
inc.addQuery("incident", current.sys_id);
inc.query();
while(inc.next()){

current.work_notes = inc.work_notes.getJournalEntry(1); // to copy latest work notes

}

 

Please feel free to ask incase of any queries.

Please mark it as correct if it resolved your query.

 

Regards,

Deepika.
