Hi @avinash1289 ,

 

The “Variables on Task Form” field in the Catalog Task workflow activity has a maximum character limit of 4000.

  • When many variables are selected, Servicenow stores them as a comma- separated string.
  • Once this string exceeds 4000 characters, Servicenow silently blocks moving more varaibles from AVAILABLE to SELECTED.
  • No error msgs are shown - it will just look like UI is broken

This behavior is documented and confirmed by ServiceNow Community threads. Please refer link -

Hope this resolves your issue 😊Mark  this correct and close the thread if it helped  👍

Reason: The "Variables on Task Form" field has a maximum character limit of 4000.

Issue: Not all available variables can be added to the Task Form within a Workflow due to this limit.

Proposed Solution: Increase  4000-character limit for the "Variables on Task Form" field.
