Not show hidden variables in mail script notification

[acf]

I have this mail script to show variables in a approval notification, but this shows a checked hidden variables that i dont need it, how can I hide this variables in the notification?

Thanks!

	template.print("<br/>");
			var set = new GlideappVariablePoolQuestionSet();
			set.setRequestID(current.sysapproval.toString());
			set.load();
			var vs = set.getFlatQuestions();
			for (var i = 0; i < vs.size(); i++) {
					if (vs.get(i).getLabel() != '' && vs.get(i).getDisplayValue()!='' && vs.get(i).getDisplayValue()!='false') {
					template.space(2);
					template.print(' <b>' + vs.get(i).getLabel() + "</b>: " + vs.get(i).getDisplayValue() + "<br/>");
				}
			}

A variable being hidden is not something stored in the GlideappVariablePoolQuestionSet. It's in a client script that gets evaluated client-side when the page loads.

Your best option is probably to create a system property called something like "notification.variables.hide" and modify your script to hide any variables whose name appears in that system property.

// at the top of your script, get the vars and make it an array
var hiddenVars = gs.getProperty('notification.variables.hide').split(',');


// in your for loop, update your if statement to check if it's in the array
if (hiddenVars.indexOf(vs.get(i).getLabel()) == -1 && vs.get(i).getLabel()...

Hi,

There is one OOTB function isVisibleSummay  which will resolve your issue. Please try below,

template.print("<br/>");
			var set = new GlideappVariablePoolQuestionSet();
			set.setRequestID(current.sysapproval.toString());
			set.load();
			var vs = set.getFlatQuestions();
			for (var i = 0; i < vs.size(); i++) {
					if (vs.get(i).isVisibleSummary() && vs.get(i).getLabel() != '' && vs.get(i).getDisplayValue()!='' && vs.get(i).getDisplayValue()!='false') {
					template.space(2);
					template.print(' <b>' + vs.get(i).getLabel() + "</b>: " + vs.get(i).getDisplayValue() + "<br/>");
				}
			}

You can refer this link for more details.

Let me know if you have any further queries.

Hi Abhijit,

I tried this "isVisibleSummary" before and it doesnt work for me, only if I unchecked the "Visible on Summaries" in the variable

Then you would need to glide into Item Option table and filter out hidden fields. Please use below script,

template.print("<br/>");
			var set = new GlideappVariablePoolQuestionSet();
			set.setRequestID(current.sysapproval.toString());
			set.load();
			var vs = set.getFlatQuestions();
			for (var i = 0; i < vs.size(); i++) {
                              var grOption=new GlideRecord("item_option_new");
                                 if(grOption.get(vs.get(i).getId())){
					if (grOption.hidden==false && vs.get(i).getLabel() != '' && vs.get(i).getDisplayValue()!='' && vs.get(i).getDisplayValue()!='false') {
					template.space(2);
					template.print(' <b>' + vs.get(i).getLabel() + "</b>: " + vs.get(i).getDisplayValue() + "<br/>");
				}
			}
