Workflow variables / trigger a workflow

workflow variables: see https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/paris-servicenow-platform/page/administer/using-workflows/concept/c_UsingVariablesInAWorkflow.html


trigger a workflow and pass in variables:

var vars = { assignment_group:[ { "sys_id":"deddc3991bf2a490f0dc85e4464bxxxx", "name":"Incident Managers Group"} ]}; //gs.print(vars.assignment_group[0].sys_id+""); //gs.print(JSON.stringify(vars.assignment_group[0].sys_id));





var wflw = new  global.Workflow();

wflw.startFlow(wflw.getWorkflowFromName('give the workflow name'), current, vars);



access the variables from within the workflow script:

workflow.scratchpad.assignment_group = vars.assignment_group.sys_id + "";

GlideRecord setValue

setValue(String name, Object value) Sets the specified field to the specified value. Normally a script would do a direct assignment, for example,  gr.category = value . However, if in a script the element name is a variable, then  gr.setValue(elementName, value)  can be used. When setting a value, ensure the data type of the field matches the data type of the value you enter. This method cannot be used on journal fields. If the value parameter is null, the record is not updated, and an error is not thrown https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/api_doc?v=madrid&id=r_GlideRecord-setValue_String_Object
