unable to add a variable to catalog task in Workflow

[VennilaP]

Hi all,

I m trying to add a particular field to a catalog task in workflow editor. Please see below:

When I add a field from Available to Selected and update it , I do not see the field that I added in the selected section.

did anyone else face this issue?

Thanks,

Vennila

How many variables are already selected?  There is a character limit on that activity definition field that I've run into with a generic workflow that applies to many Catalog Items, each with unique variables to be included.

Hi @Brad Bowman  ,

There are more than 100 variables selected for that particular catalog task.

Thanks,

Vennila

Yes, this would be running into the character limit then.  Navigate to Workflow > Administration > Activity Definitions in the left nav.  View the record for Catalog Task.  In the Activity Variables related list, there is a task_variables record.  I changed the Max length on mine to 4,000.

Thanks @Brad Bowman  !!

It worked. It was already set to 4000 and I changed it to 5000 and now I am able to add the variable.
