Can we pass display value for reference variable while submitting request via OOB API

[Kumar4999]

Currently while submitting the service catalog request using OOB API, When I am passing the sys_id in Reference type of variable the value is taking in the requst as expected.

But if we pass the display value reference field is taking as empty, is there a way we can use Display value in Reference type of variable while submitting the Service Catalog Request via SR OOb API?

API: /api/sn_sc/servicecatalog/items/{sys_id}/order_now

Example: If I like to select a user in reference filed which referred to User table. Is there a way I can pass the user id or Display name instead of user sys_id while ordering the catalog item similar to table APIs?

{

"sysparm_quantity": "1",

"sysparm_requested_for":"userid",

"sysparm_no_validation": "true",

"variables":

{

"test_user":"edscksacsaksaijd334b1cvdsavgasi"

}

}

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar,

Could youy please clarify this doubte if possible.

[Ankur Bawiskar]

@Kumar4999 

should work when you include this parameter in the URL i.e. REST endpoint.

sysparm_display_value=true

@Ankur Bawiskar ,

Thank you for quick response,

But my doubte is, Is there a way we can pass Display name as variable value in Payload for reference fields?

Currently it only accepting sys_id.

Example: 

Currently this is working - 

{

"sysparm_quantity": "1",

"sysparm_requested_for":"userid",

"sysparm_no_validation": "true",

"variables":

{

"test_user":"edscksacsaksaijd334b1cvdsavgasi"

}

}

Is there a way we can pass the Display value like below for reference fields?

{

"sysparm_quantity": "1",

"sysparm_requested_for":"userid",

"sysparm_no_validation": "true",

"variables":

{

"test_user":"Kumar 4999"

}

}

I already told it's possible.

just include the sysparm_display=true in query parameter when you hit the endpoint

screenshot I already shared

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

@Ankur Bawiskar ,

Tried that but value not inserting even after using "sysparm_display_value=true"

Request created but user reference value not get inserted

Could you please suggest any other approach or am I doing it wrongly..

Kumar
