Hi All,

Good Morning !   Can anyone please help me on the below query ?

I would like to layout my variables in a container with 2 columns , alternating sides however The container insider my variable set doesn't seems to work on Service Portal whereas it works on the Native Servicenow page. Do we have any workaround to apply for time-being?

Thank you,

Raji.

I can not understate, how annoyed i am by the fact that this is still the best workaround to the issue...

Glad i an help, though.

And it continues to be a working solution even in San Diego

Not gonna lie, to this day this has gotten a bit of a pet peeve. Every month i get a notification that someone found my comment helpful. To this day it is my most helpful comment. I don't understand why this still is a thing. But i am glad i can help out.

ps.: this also is my most helpful comment which has not yet been marked as correct 😄

But the error msg "Container Start/End/Split variable cannot be part of multi-row variable set" keeps on popping

This is because containers are simply not supported in MRVS. 

You cannot include the following variable types in an MRVS:

  • Attachment
  • Break
  • Container End
  • Container Start
  • Container Split
  • HTML
  • Label
  • Macro
  • Macro with label
  • Rich Text Label
  • UI Page
