Adding a Reference type variable to short description in a Flow

[terrieb]

I am building a Flow that I want to update both the Request and Requested Item record to include in the short description the catalog variables.

While it populates the start date variable (date type) it is not populating the employee name (reference type) - only returning the sys id for the employee name selected.

See attachment for screen shots

In the past, when use Worfklows, I had a set script, but that script does not work in Flow designer.  It there any examples of scripting to use in Flow Designer that you can send me?  Unable to find either here in Community or Service Now Docs.

Thank you

You actually don't need a script, you'll just need to dot walk another layer to get the name.

Example, click the down arrow and you can access all the fields from the sys_user table

Or if you're doing it from a data pill, click the right arrow

Thank you!  I just knew I was missing a step.  I did the data pill option and it's working perfectly...
