Can you explain that

Hi Sumit,

you can use this and then below script should get the value in logs

1) Include this Action "Get Catalog Variables"

2) script below

/*
**Access Flow/Action data using the fd_data object. Script must return a value.
**example: var shortDesc = fd_data.trigger.current.short_description;
**return shortDesc;
*/

var val = fd_data._1__get_catalog_variables.date;
gs.info('Variable value is: ' + val);

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

Hello Ankur,

Thank you for the update above. I was trying to do the same to update short description of a catalog task when it is created but unfortunately it kept on returning [object gliderecord] 

I did update the script as below and it worked fine. I was trying to update the short description with the requested for value.

var val = fd_data.trigger.request_item.variables.<put your catalog variable name here>.getDisplayValue();

var shortDesc = "Create Account(s) for "+val ;

return shortDesc;

Thanks,

Gopi

Hi Sumit,

I have number in the field and I tried to return the field using just return statement below and I got the desired result.

return fd_data.trigger.request_item.variables.type_in_the_text

Kindly mark my response correct and helpful if my suggestion resolved your query,

Thanks
