Replacing Eval with GlideScriptEvaluator

Vetcha Prasanna — Wed, 11 Sep 2024 06:57:19 GMT

Hello ,

I have a function in client callable script include as below:

var ritmVar = '';

var item = new GlideRecord("sc_req_item");

item.get(sysid);

//If RITM found

if (item) {

ritmVar += 'Requested For: ' + item.request.requested_for.getDisplayValue() + '\n';

ritmVar += 'Stage: ' + item.stage.getDisplayValue() + '\n';

ritmVar += 'Opened: ' + item.opened_at + '\n';

ritmVar += 'Request: ' + item.short_description + '\n\n';

var mtom = new GlideRecord('sc_item_option_mtom');

mtom.addQuery('request_item', item.sys_id);

mtom.orderBy('sc_item_option.order');

mtom.query();

while (mtom.next()) {

var questionIsActive = mtom.sc_item_option.item_option_new.active;

var answer = mtom.sc_item_option.value;

if (questionIsActive && !answer.nil()) {

ritmVar += mtom.sc_item_option.item_option_new.question_text + ": " + eval('item.variable_pool.' + mtom.sc_item_option.item_option_new.name + '.getDisplayValue()') + "\n";

}

return ritmVar;

},

Hello Rajesh,

Thanks for the reply.

But unfortunately its not working.
I am testing as below
calling the above function(script include) from background script by passing the RITM sys_id and it gives the null values.
Could you please help me on this.
