Flow designer get current action fields

[Maxime]

Hello Team,

I was wondering how is it possible to get by code, the short description field of my current action in the description field ?

Thank you for your advise

Hi @Maxime,

Right, I see what you are trying to do. I don't think you can use 'current' or any of the objects here as the record/reference hasn't been created yet.

One workaround I can think of is to use a Flow variable and use it across both of the short description and description fields.

Cheers

Hi,

Yes this it, this is the best workaround that I have imagined. But I am disappointed to see that there is no equivalent to the workflow editor.

Thank you for the conversation

Hi @Maxime ,

You could always try:

• Catalog Task Created
• 'Wait for XX amount of time' Step
• Look up Catalog Task Record (where SysID is SysID of the Created Catalog Task)
• Update Record Step where you can now Dot Walk / Write the Short Description into the Description 

Hope this helps!

Hi @Josh Pirozzi,

Thank you, in fact this is a workaround possible, but a little bit loud against to create a flow variable to use.
