Hello @Community Alums 

I tried the same steps but didn't worked for me. I see some changes in the widget as well. May be we are not on the same version.

Hi @mr18 ,

I did it on the newly created PDI in Vancouver. Then you can try debugging by putting logs between the code, for example:

+ In the cloned version of 'action_widget':

   - Server script: below this line

if (input.recordNumber.startsWith('RITM')) {

-> gs.info('ESC: ' + input.recordNumber). Evaluate if the approval record is Requested Item.

and below:

if (grRITM.cat_item == '039c516237b1300054b6a3549dbe5dfc') {

-> gs.info('ESC1:' + grRITM.cat_item). Evaluate if the catalog item is correct sys_id.

  - Client controller:

     + below the line 46 "if (action.clientScript)" -> input "alert('showAlert' + showAlert)". Evaluate if the showAlert is true.

Then access to ESC - My tasks choose the correct approval RITM with correct Catalog item, click Approve.

the alert will show first then see above logs in System Log -> All -> Filter Message field startWith 'ESC'
