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

Thanks Brent, it worked! I am only new to servicenow and you are right i dont need to use GlideRecord for this. is there a way that i can explore all the possible switches after current.xxxx.xxxx in service now?

Hi Rex,

If you right click on the header of a change request and select "Show XML" it will bring up a screen with all the technical names of the fields on a change request.

XML Form

All of these fields are available to you in the current object and are accessible with the following syntax:

current.<fieldname>;

current.<fieldname>.getDisplayValue();

Have a play around and see what you can pull out.
