Hi Team, 

I have created a notification on sc_req_item table and in email script i have given to print current.short_descripton.

 I need the short description of RITM to be visible on notification.

But when i create request , given short description as 'Test' for RITM , sometimes i see default short description  RITM and somtimes as 'Test'  its not constant in notification 

Pls refer the below img.

Here in RITM form default text is overridden by 'TEST '

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar , @Martin Ivanov 

First of all thanks for your response and helping me.

Below is the triggering condition for notification

I didn't get why gs.sleep is required

Did you identify why the values are coming as different? any script is manipulating the short description of RITM before email is triggered

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar 
I just know that RITM Short description default text is  copied by REQ  not sure which script is manipulating , whoever when user enters short descript from portal , it is updates on RITM form as well as REQ from. 
but the issue is when notification is received with current.short_description , the value is flicker sometimes i get default text itself and sometimes the short description entered by end user. but i need the short desc enter by user in notification.

i will try to debug this more , Thanks a lot for your response !

 

 


 

@B somanna 

So there is some script which is overriding it just before the email is triggered.

unless you debug you won't know

Hi,

 

Make sure the notification is fired via event. Generate the event from a Business Rule and make sure to add the Short Description as one of the event parameters, that way you can just call it in the email notification script easily.
