How to get Catalog task variable value in Flow designer.

[snbansode]

Hey there,

I am creating a flow for one of the catalog item, the initial requirement is to Assign the task to particular team according to selection on the choice field on catalog task level.

If as a fulfiller I select on of the choice on catalog task level the catalog task should get assigned to that particular team.

Currently the flow designer is taking value from the catalog item level that is null(I hide that field on catalog item level), and the flow is not working as per my expectations.

Now I want to get the variable value from the catalog task level(whatever fulfiller selects) into the flow designer how do I get that?

currently i am using get catalog variable but it is taking the response value from item form level.

Hi,

Try to use current.variables.<VARIABLE_NAME> in the flow action script to get the latest value

Hi @snbansode ,
Please have a look on below screenshots
My flow is like once request is generated then First task is generated.
Fulfiller of that task is selects a group on catalog variables. further,
Second task is created and assigned to the group which is selected by fulfiller of first task.

Please mark my response as correct and helpful if it helped solved your question.

Thanks,

OOB Get Catalog variable action will always give outdated value and not the latest one.

to ensure it picks the latest value here is the workaround

The "Get Catalog Variables" Flow Action will return Outdated Variables
