fetch the current workflow for a change request

[Rex Shi]

Hi there,

I am trying to write a simple script within the workflow to fetch the current change id within the normal change workflow, i found out its not really working.

var gr = new GlideRecord("change_request");
gr.addQuery('number',current.sys_id);
gr.query();

i think the gr.addQuery('number',current.sys_id) is not working, but i cant find the right value to fetch , has anyone done this before ? 

thanks

You can use current.number, which will return you the change number.

Hi Sanjiv,

Thanks for replying, i tried with gr.addQuery('number',current.number);

but i dont think that worked. I am trying to get this workflow to look up the assignemnt group in change table, if its the right assignment then it will add that group to the change approvers list.

You don't need to query the change record for that. Because you have all the attributes in the current object already. current.number will give you Change ID. current.sys_id will give you sysid of the change request

You can use current.assignment_group to get the sys id of the assignment group.

And current.assignment_group.getDisplayValue to get the display value of the assignment group.

Thanks Sanjiv,

it worked! iam new to servicenow and looks like i dont need a GlideRecord for this. by the way is there a way that I can explore all the possible variable that i can use after current.xxxxx.xxxxx.
