how can I pass the incident category value dynamically in key value format

var inccategory = current.category.getDisplayValue();

var result = "{'category':inccategory} // this gives me error but if I print logs then I am able to see correct value

What error are you getting? I am only see the unnecessary quotes before your curly bracket, otherwise should be fine.

var inccategory = current.category.getDisplayValue(); var result = {'category':inccategory};

Hi,
Do like below

var inccategory = current.category.getDisplayValue(); var result ={}; result.category=inccategory; var strJSON=JSON.stringify(result) gs.info(strJSON)

Hi,
It will not work in flow designer as current object is not available flow like this.

Flow designer is different. It really depends on where you are trying to access your incident record (flow, subflow, action, is it a trigger or a result of look-up, etc.), but basically you can get to it starting from the fd_data object.

For instance, if your incident is the trigger of the flow, it would look like this:

fd_data.trigger.current.category.getDisplayValue();

under actions I am trying to send value to 3rd party where am passing the value of category (label value) to key

var inccategory = fd_data.trigger.current.category.getDisplayValue();

gs.info('print category ' + inccategory); // gives me correct value

var result = '{"category":inccategory}'; // this part doesn't take above value instead it shows inccategory

return result;

Remove the quotes around the curly braces:

var result = {"category":inccategory};
