Hi @User687957 

 

To look up choice records for the category element on the incident table in a ServiceNow Flow Designer, you should use the Look Up Records action (plural), not Look Up Record (singular). This allows you to retrieve multiple potential choices.

 

1. Add the "Look Up Records" Action: In your Flow Designer flow, add the Look Up Records action.

 

2.Configure the Action:
Table: Select Choice (internal name is sys_choice).
Conditions: Add the following conditions to filter the choices:
Table (field name: name) is incident.
Element (field name: element) is category.
Inactive is false (optional, but recommended to get active choices).
