Hi

In your script you can check for

if (workflow.variables.var_name != undefined)

Hi Rajeev,

The workflow I assume will run on RITM table and which is tagged to particular Catalog Item

You can check whether there is any value in that variable while user submitted the request as follows

Run Script activity with script below

if(current.variables.<variableName> != ''){

// variable has value

}

Is this your requirement?

Hi Rajeev,

So following code will help you whether the RITM or the Catalog Item tagged to this RITM is having the variable or not.

In the below example I have taken all the variables belonging to the current catalog item i.e. the workflow running on RITM in an array

and then using ArrayUtil determined whether the variable you want to find is present in that array or not

// assuming your workflow is on RITM table so current refers to ritm record

var variablesArray = [];

var item = new GlideappCatalogItem.get(current.cat_item); // sys id of the catalog item

var variables = item.getVariables();

while(variables.next())

{      

var variable = variables.name.toString();

variablesArray.push(variable);

}

gs.log('Variables Array is:'+variablesArray);

var variableNameToBeSearched = 'heello';

var arrayUtil = new ArrayUtil();

var found = arrayUtil.contains(variablesArray,variableNameToBeSearched);

gs.log('Variable found:'+found);

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
