sys_id of the catalog variable

[Abhishek64]

I  have to pass value from UI action page to my work flow where i am able to pass the incident value from work flow but not able to pass sys_id of the incident to my workflow. i am using below code to pass the incident number and sys id.

Working code 

ServiceNowIncidentId:current.variables.associatedincidentnumber.getDisplayValue(),

Not working code (not able to pass sys id to my workflow)

INSysid:current.variables.associatedincidentnumber.sys_id.getDisplayValue(),

Hi,

What is the type of your variable 'associatedincidentnumber'?

Is it Reference or String?

Hi,

If your variable is of type string then you need to use GlideRecord query to get sys_id.

var incSys_id = '';
var incId = new GlideRecord('incident');
incId.addQuery('number',current.variables.associatedincidentnumber.toString());
incId.query();
if(incId.next()){
incSys_id = incId.getUniqueValue();
}
// put above code in your script and use incSys_id to pass sys_id
INSysid:incSys_id,

Thanks,
