Set a catalog item's variable field into the sc_req_item record

[Adam Hutton]

Hi All,
This seems pretty simple, but I've been getting a run around in the documentation...

I have a catalog variable set called short description that has one variable, short description.

I want to make this variable become the sc_req_item's short description after it's submitted. I've tried using a current.short_description to pull the record, but I'm getting error messages saying that this shouldn't be done in catalog client scripts. (or any client scripts).

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Jacebenson, Now the 'Requested for' field is capturing the value user provide in catalog variable. But here a new issue arises, We have Two step checkout activated so in the next step screen there is also a field 'requested for' on UI Page which is providing logged on user name. This will be confusing to end user how can I make that field in sync with variable value and the Request field's value.

Thank you very much, This was exactly I needed.

Thanks for the replies! The way I ended up fixing this was to create a Business Rule against the sc_req_item table. Whenever there's a catalog item with a short description variable, it will copy it. Then I created a Variable Set that works and added that to the catalog items that I needed this to work on.

Thanks!
