Hello,
I've created a workflow and i wanted to use the workflow input variables to pass some values to the workflow, but for some reason the 'Input' tab in the properties is hidden and when checked for other workflows only visible in few.
wanted to know the reason behind this, i've published and checked out the workflow as well, have gone through most of the community posts related to the workflow input variables but none had this issue mentioned. let me know if anybody know why this is happening.
Note: Same issue in my personal as well client instance.
PIC1
PIC2
The above tab is missing for the PIC1
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi there,
Not sure why this is been done, though like Brian mentioned for sc_req_item the section is hidden. Though, you can use it! We are using the inputs - for sc_req_item - also in our environments. Just temporarily change the table, do your thing on the inputs, switch the table back to sc_req_item.
Kind regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Thanks a lot that was really helpful, but I had to create a new workflow for this as the old one with sc_req_item table didn't allow me to change the table in the properties not sure why rest of the wf tables were changing which had different tables except the sc_req_item.
Thanks and Regards,
Sudipth Elaveettil

There is a sys_property that supposedly controls this: glide.workflow.enable_input_variables
However, when I changed it's value to true, it didn't help.
There is a UI Policy called 'Hide/Show inputs/catalog variable worklfow property tabs' that is hiding the Inputs tab if a workflow is using sc_req_item. I was able to get the Inputs tab to show by commenting out the code in the UI Policy that hides it. It's in the Advanced script:
//g_form.setSectionDisplay("inputs", false);
//g_form.setSectionDisplay("inputs", true);
Thanks,
Liam Barksdale
