How to display the "Variable Editor" of a Request Item record in the record form of another table

[bonsai]

I created a custom table (without extensions).
I've implemented a field that references the Requested Item table.

I created an input form using a catalog item.
The "Variable Editor" field of the requested item contains information from the input form.

I would like to display the "Variable Editor" field information of the requested item on the custom table.

Even after looking at the form layout, it doesn't seem possible to implement this.
Is there any way?

yes this is possible

check this blog and follow the steps and replace correct field which refers to RITM

Hi  @bonsai 

To see the Variable Editor on any other form, create your own formatter.

1. Navigate to System UI > Formatters.
2. Click Create New.
3. Provide the values for the formatter.
   
   • If using Fuji or a later release, add the following information:

     Name: Variable Editor

     Formatter: com_glideapp_questionset_default_question_editor

     Table: Select the table whose form you would like to make the formatter available for

     Type: Formatter

     Active: true

   • If using a pre-Fuji release, use the following settings:

     Name: Variable Editor

     Formatter: com.glideapp.questionset.DefaultQuestionEditor

     Table: Select the table whose form you would like to make the formatter available for

     Type: Component

     Active: true

4. Click Submit.
5. Navigate to the form, personalize the form, and check that the Variable Editor appears

Hi,

The VEditor is applicable only for RITMs and catalog tasks. It cannot be used for any other tables.

if you want to bring it to custom table, you can do it using system UI formatter

refer this document: Configure the default variable editor for other tables • Zurich ServiceNow AI Platform Capabilities ...

Hello @bonsai , 

Yes ,  there is way , 

In ServiceNow, the Variable Editor only appears OOTB on Requested Item (sc_req_item) and Catalog Task forms.

It cannot be added directly to custom tables or other child task tables through Form Layout because it’s a special UI formatter, not a normal field.

To display catalog variables on other tables, you must use a custom UI Macro/Formatter that renders the Variable Editor by referencing the parent RITM (as shown in the linked article).
