Hi Team,

 

I have a flow designer, Once I submit the item, Ritm and sc_tasks are creating.

 

Now in sc_task short description I want to add one of the variable value in it.

1 thing to check -> if that variable is select box then why it shows Search Icon

try this other way in script

Also check if there is any space in the variable name

var choiceLabel = fd_data.trigger.request_item.variables.addon_licence_project.getDisplayValue();
return choiceLabel;

This one is working, apart from this, I have total 10 tasks in this item,  Do I need to create different flow variables or can I use same one which I have already created?

 

in 10 Tasks 8 are select box, 2 are Reference Type

@Sriram Pusuluri 

Glad to know that my script worked.

1 flow variable can be reused throughout the same flow.

For Reference we need to create new Flow Variable with type as Reference right
