Catalog Item Checkbox variable always returning false

juriggs — Fri, 21 Jun 2019 14:45:17 GMT

I have a checkbox variable in a catalog item, and no matter whether the box is checked or not upon the Order, the value returned if "false".

The code I'm using to retrieve the value is:

workflow.scratchpad.force_change = current.variables.force_change;

where force_change is the name of the variable in the catalog item and the input in the PowerShell activity in the Workflow.

Thanks.

Do you have any client script running against this variable?

No. Just the script in the "Run Script" activity of the Workflow.

Try this??

workflow.scratchpad.for = current.variables.force_change;

Okay, figured it out.

In my Activity I had declared the force_change variable as a Boolean. In the workflow, when I told the activity what values I wanted to use, force_change was a checkbox that was unchecked.

When I changed the type of variable of force_change to String, the workflow activity input was a text box and I was able to put workflow.scratchpad.force_change = current.variables.force_change; in there. That worked.

Thanks for your help.
