Hiding a variable on the request form but adding it to the catalog task

[Laura12]

We have a form that will create a catalog task after a first approval.  I'm using flow designer and in that catalog task, I want to add a catalog variable so that a member of that assignment group has to enter a value in that variable before closing the task.

I've added the variable to the catalog item; however, I also don't want it to show up when the user completes the form because the field is unrelated to the items on the form.  I only want to be able to add it to the catalog task.  Is there a way to do this?  I've tried a UI policy/action on the form where visible = false and the form is fine but when I added it to the catalog task, it was not visible.

Hi Laura,

Can you please share the screenshot of your UI policy along with the Ui policy action

So, I did just get the variable on the catalog task - I hadn't saved/activated my flow.  

However, like I said earlier, the variable is still visible on the main form.

Hello @Laura12 ,

Instead of applying on catalog task , apply it on catalog item view and requested item . And make field visible false. Its working on my PDI.

Please Mark Helpful.

Rohini,

That worked!!  One last question, can I make that field mandatory on the task?  I made mandatory=true but it's not making it mandatory on the task.
