Glide_var field types

[Uday16]

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone help me understand how can we parse glide_var type fields and separate their values. Only information I can find on internet is this link.

https://www.jds.net.au/glide-variables/

We need to store the values from this glide_var type field and use the same.

Please help if any idea about the same.

Regards,

Uday

Hi @Uday 

I don't understand your issue, as in the referenced web page there is an example on how to read the variable names and values:

var gr = new GlideRecord('<TABLE NAME>');

gr.get('<SYS ID>');

// 'inputs' is the name of the field of type 'glide_var'
for(var eachVariable in gr.inputs) {
  gs.info(eachVariable + ' : ' + gr.inputs[eachVariable]);
}

What exactly do you miss?

Kind regards
Maik

Hi Uday,

PFB the sample code, please mark the reply helpful as appropriate

var ordertaskGr= new GlideRecord('sn_ind_tmt_orm_order_task');//table name of the order task
ordertaskGr.get('244e9ff45b5620102dff5e92dc81c7bd'); //sys_id of the order task


for(var eachVariable in orderGr.characteristics) {
  gs.info(eachVariable + ' : ' + orderGr.characteristics[eachVariable]);
}

This thread helped me in understanding and implementing the below solution what I was looking for:

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_hub_action_instance')
gr.get('318450411b5c81104a61ebd22a4bcbc7')

for(var eachVariable in gr.action_inputs){
gs.info(eachVariable + ' : ' + gr.action_inputs[eachVariable])
}

//output

*** Script: sys_meta : action_inputs
*** Script: table_name : sc_req_item
*** Script: record : 
*** Script: values : comments=Request has been processed in ServiceNow.^state=3^stage=complete
*** Script: sys_id : 318450411b5c81104a61ebd22a4bcbc7

Thanks,
