Trying to Pull the TASK Number on a Create Task Activity in a Workflow

[John Bone]

I have a reference variable on a catalog item called Project Reference Number: (u_project_reference_number) that is referencing the sc_task table. After looking at other Community posts, I am trying to pull the TASK number and populate it in this field on the Create Task activity in the catalog item's workflow using the script below, but it isn't working for me. This is the only line of code in the Advanced script section on this Create Task activity. Does what I need to do get this working?

workflow.scratchpad.u_project reference_number = task.number;

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

do this

task.myField = current.variables.u_project_reference_number.number; // give correct field where you want to set

Hello @Ankur Bawiskar! 

Thanks for your response!   Unfortunately, the field is still blank: 

I put the script below into my workflow as you suggested: 

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Hi,

the number field on task is auto-generated.

Why you wish to set it from script?

Hello @Ankur Bawiskar!

I am trying to get the TASK number so that I can pass the value to another system, so that the other system can use the TASK number to pass back a value of "Closed Complete" when the automation activities performed by the other system are successfully completed. 

Thank you for your help!
