I want to add a record to a related list via script

[jonw1]

I have a variable (referencing: cmdb_ci_computer) on a catalog item, and I would like to add the referenced computer to the "affected CIs" related list on the requested item record.   I don't know how to refer to the related list in my script.

Specific use case ... after the last task in the requested item workflow is completed, I want to make the entry to the appropriate related list on the RITM being completed.

Thanks!

Hi Jon,

You can refer to the Related List using a GlideRecord query. Look at the code in this post- https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=35c7cbe9db1cdbc01dcaf3231f96...

Please mark my answer helpful/correct based on the impact.

Hi Priyanka,

Thanks for your response.  I'm having trouble relating your example to my use case.   Not sure why I would need a glide query ... the related list I'm interested in is on the "current" record (this script is executing in workflow associated with that record).  And the record I want to add to the related list is represented by a variable on "current."   so, it seems like it should be able to refer the list as something like:

current.relatedList ... I just don't know how to figure out the "name" of a given related list??

Thanks again,

Jon

Hey Jon,

Can you go to System UI -> Related Lists and check if you see your RL there?

Try to get the related_list_table_name from the list control of the related list. Right click related list header > Personalize/Configure List Control. Copy the value from the field 'Related list'.
