Variable editor on SCTask is missing if SCTask is created using run script not with workflow activity.

[Mrunal Nagarkar]

I am creating catalog task using run script. once catalog task is created Variables (which shows all variables from RITM) is missing. 

var gr = new GlideRecord('sc_task');
gr.initialize();
gr.request_item = current.sys_id;
gr.request = current.request;
gr.short_description = 'Description';
gr.insert();

I am using above script. Please guide me how to show Variable editor on SCTASK

Hey,

Variables from catalog is visible on catalog task when you would useon a Catalog Task step. The relation  is stored in sc_item_variables_task table

Using Run Script will not result into showing variables on the catalog task form.

But there's a workaround which you can use

Scripting with catalog variables on tasks (sc_item_option_mtom) table

Feel free to mark correct, If I answered your query.

Will be helpful for future visitors looking for similar questions 🙂

Hi Mrunal,

Why not use Catalog Task workflow activity instead of run script activity & then simply scroll & add variables. Something as below.

Picture above is just for reference however, variables may differ in your case.
