Displaying the current Value of a variable

[Bryan Campbell]

Looking for some assistance with a Script that doesn't appear to be working.   What we are trying to do is display the current value of a select box variable in the short description of a task that is generated from a request as well as display the name of the person it is requested for.   The end result is that the short description of the task would read the selection that was made from the drop down along with the client's name i.e. "Fulfill SAS Report for John Doe"

var perm = current.request.requested_for.name;

var tempvendor = current.request.u_temp_vendor_name;

var fulfill = 'Fulfill ' + current.variables.type_report + 'Report for ';

if (perm.nil()){

        task.short_description = fulfill + tempvendor;

} else {

        task.short_description = fulfill + perm;

Please try following:

var perm = current.variables.requested_for;

var tempvendor = current.variables.u_temp_vendor_name;

var fulfill = 'Fulfill ' + current.variables.type_report + 'Report for ';

if (perm.nil()){

        task.short_description = fulfill + tempvendor;

} else {

        task.short_description = fulfill + perm;

Hi Tanumoy,

The script works to grab the client's name from the Request when using var fulfill = 'Fulfill for ';

It's when we add the following that it doesn't grab the clients name or the display value of the variable ' + current.variables.type_report + '
