List Collector Variable on Catalog Item only show sys_id

[Edxavier Robert]

Hi all, 

I have a catalog item with a list collector variable. The list collector is a reference field to the sys_user_group table. My issue I am trying to get the responses on an email notification but it's only returning the sys_id of the groups. How I can get the Display Value or the actual name of the group in the email notification? I am using the flow designer to send the notification.

Hi  Edxavier,

I believe that you are using Get Catalog Variables Action to have your variables as Data Pills. If this is the case then follow below steps;

1. Create a Flow Variable of type string
2. Use Set Flow Variables to set the DisplayValue of sys_ids you have.
3. Use that flow variable in the body of your email.

If you have not used Get Catalog Variables then you have to use that Action as a 1st Step.

For reference see the below images;

Hopefully, this will resolve your query.

Hi @Muhammad Khan , 

Thanks for your response but I am not getting any variable to select.

[Muhammad Khan]

It will be under Flow Variables  at the top

Hi @Muhammad Khan and@Mohith Devatte ,

Thank both for your responses, but I was unable to find a solution using flow designer so I end it up using the notification outside flow designer. I create a notification and I called the variable for the list collector.
