Calling sub-flow (flow designer) from legacy Workflow

[Asmita7]

Hello Friends,

I have already created a Flow designer to add details in a table. I am currently modifying a Workflow. I need to call a Sub-flow (flow designer) from my workflow ?

1. I tried using core activity Run sub-flow from Workflow. 

2. I have added sub-flow inputs in Workflow in Has Inputs section through a code.

e.g. answer = {};

answer['user'] = 'sys_id';

answer['entitlement']='sys_id';

Both user and entitlement are inputs in sub-flow with reference data type. 

But this gives error during execution of workflow in RITM.

Any idea to resolve this?

Any other approach to call Sub-flow from a Workflow?

Please help.

Your help will be appreciated.

Thank you,

Asmi

Hi @Asmita7,

Dont pass sys id as input for reference inputs, pass them as Glide Record Objects, as Flow takes Glide Record objects for references.

ex:

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
gr.get('ADD_YOUR_SYSID_HERE'); //pass sys id dynamically not in string or you can also add query instead of .get()

answer['user'] = gr;

Same for entitlement and any other reference input.

Doing this will resolve your issues.

Thank you for your time @Ehab Pilloor 

In case if I need to pass variable from RITM E.g. current.request.requested_for

What should be approach in this case ?

@Asmita7,

you can pass variable as same type value as it is received. Only for reference, you pass Glide Record Object.

For Requested for, get GR object in script and pass it as input.

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
gr.get(current.request.requested_for.getUniqueValue()); //pass sys id dynamically not in string or you can also add query instead of .get()

answer['user'] = gr;
