Is it possible to get the sysids of the values in a list collector in flow designer?

[donnadavis]

I have values in a list collector and some of the values contain commas.  For example, Bugs Bunny, MD or Looney Tunes Practice, PLLC.

I have been able to get a script working that uses the DIsplay Value from the list collector.  I use the names to call a custom table to get more information for the catalog task.  Splitting the values is a problem for those that have commas as part of their name.

I have tried to get the sysids instead and have had no luck.  I used the following

var cdonna = fd_data.trigger.request_item.variables.ci_practices;

and it returns

cdonna = com.glide.vars2.Variable@d2697e

Ankur Bawiskar helped me tremendously in identifying what I needed to access the variables.  I am hoping that there is something special that is needed in FLow Designer to access the sysids.

Thanks for any information you can provide.

Hi Donnadavis,

I am assuming you are trying to get sysId value after the step Get Catalog variable action. If yes then replace fd_data.trigger.request_item.variables.ci_practices; with

type fd_data. in the script editor and you will get option to select get catalog variable set ->Select that->After that type (dot i.e .) and you will see the variable and select that

Reference ; 

fd_data._1__get_catalog_variables.lc //_1__get_catalog_variables is my first step get catalog variables.

I am currently facing the same situation, I am working in a flow designer were I have a variable that is from a list collector. I am trying to get the list of users into the description on the sc_task that I am creating. I tried to use this: 

var memberTeams = fd_data._1__get_catalog_variables.teams_members.getDisplayValue();
return memberTeams;

and this other

var memberTeams = fd_data._1__get_catalog_variables.teams_members.toString();
return memberTeams;

But is returning the sys_id of the user 

Any idea? I will keep searching, but just in case I posted here.
