Get the display value of list collector variable values selected through flow designer

[Phanideepthi]

Hi All,

We are working on a catalog item where we have a list collector variable("additional services") getting from question_choice table . Now we need to get the values selected in the list collector into request description. When we are adding the variable it is populating with sysID's of the values selected. So now how can we get the text values using a flow designer. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Phanideepthi ,

I have tested the below logic in my pdi and its working fine!!

In flow designer you need to write the field level script like below in - 

here is the sample logic- (it returns to Description fields)

 var members= fd_data._1__get_catalog_variables.group_members; var choices="";
var gr= new GlideRecord('sys_user');
gr.addEncodedQuery('sys_idIN'+members);
gr.query();
while(gr.next()){
choices=choices+" , "+gr.getDisplayValue('name');}
return choices;

Hi @Phanideepthi ,

I know scripting is not that much easy but I checked alternative way as well. but in this case your variables providing list of sys_id then we need to build a logic and based on the ids need to fetch the display values... in shared screenshot I explain how we can retrieve the value and set to the specific fields.

Please try once and let me know if you still facing any issue I will assist you further!!

@Phanideepthi 

you can create a flow variable of type string and then use "Set Flow Variables" flow logic to grab the label instead of sysId

Then use this flow variable in your flow

Flow variables 

Set Flow Variables Flow Logic 

something like this but please enhance
