setting flow variable using a script

[jonathangilbert]

Hi All

I am trying to set a flow variable, by taking values from 2 catalog variables, but my script does not populate anything

I wish to take the 1st letter from the "First Name" variable and the whole value from the "Surname" variable, so that in the example John Smith would give a flow variable of "Jsmith"

This is the only line script I am using in the "Set Flow variable" action:-
fd_data.current.variables.first_name .substring(0,1) + fd_data.current.variables.colleagues_surname);

even if I simplify just to try and get the value from one of the variables, fd_data.current.variables.first_name; I dont get any populated value either.


What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

update as this

fd_data.trigger.request_item.variables.first_name.toString().substring(0,1) + fd_data.trigger.request_item.variables.colleagues_surname;

regards

Good Afternoon Ankur,

I have updated with your line of script and it still returns back a blank entry

This is the script entry in the flow

This is where the description should be updated with the flow variable 

There are no logs against the flow variable once it has executed

Many Thanks

Hi Ankur,

I have sorted it, usign what you had supplied but also adding in the variable dun

var dun = "DUN" + fd_data.trigger.request_item.variables.colleagues_first_name.toString().substring(0,1) + fd_data.trigger.request_item.variables.colleagues_surname;

return dun;

Thank you so much for your help again
