ServiceNow MS Teams Integration - Reference fields limitations

 


bit more info from ServiceNow Support

issue:

The limitation with SN-Teams integration is when trying to create a incident / request /.. through teams
 if Related fields inputs from the Users ( like reference to User, Service Offering table or in fact any ServiceNow Related fields
 the Team's chat will fail to respond when we ask user to select a value in these fields - there will be no response.

Hello Ruen,

Just a point of clarification.
For the sys property, please specify lower case values i.e.
Type true|false
Value: true

Regards,
Chandresh

Hello Ruen,

My apologies for the delay on this case.
To summarise the previous case, when the Teams Bot is presenting a list of Topics, if the number of Topics presented is greater than some number (we do not know the exact number at this point), there
is no response provided on the Teams side.

An example of this is a filter in VA Designer that presents 378 Service Offering records - this does not work in Teams.
If the filter is adjusted so that it presents e.g. 14 records then this works in Teams.

Could we have the following done please:

1/ In sys_properties, add the following property
glide.cs.debug
Type True|False
Value: True

2/ Recreate the issue with the filter that produces a larger set of Service Offerings and the failure to respond in Teams
3/ Recreate with the filter with the smaller set and which gets a response in Teams.

4/ Set the property from 1/ to False.

5/ Could you then provide the following:
- The date/time (and timezone) when the tests were done.
- The user and their email address on the Teams side who conducted the test.
- Confirm that the tests were done against the xxxtemp instance (if not, then please provide the instance against which the tests were conducted)

ServiceNow check for null or nil or empty (or not)

Haven't tested these all recently within global/local scopes, so feel free to have a play! option 1 use an encoded query embedded in the GlideRecord , e.g.  var grProf = new GlideRecord ( 'x_cls_clear_skye_i_profile' ); grProf . addQuery ( 'status=1^ owner=NULL ' ); grProf . query (); even better use the glideRecord  addNotNullQuery or addNullQuery option 2 JSUtil.nil / notNil (this might be the most powerful. See this link ) example: if ( current . operation () == 'insert' && JSUtil . notNil ( current . parent ) && ! current . work_effort . nil ())  option 3 there might be times when you need to get inside the GlideRecord and perform the check there, for example if the code goes down 2 optional routes depending on null / not null can use gs.nil : var grAppr = new GlideRecord ( 'sysapproval_approver' ); var grUser = new GlideRecord ( 'sys_user' ); if ( grUser . get ( 'sys_id' , current . approver )){

Get URL Parameter - server side script (portal or classic UI)

Classic UI : var sURL_editparam = gs . action . getGlideURI (). getMap (). get ( ' sysparm_aparameter ' ); if ( sURL_editparam == 'true' ) { gs . addInfoMessage ( 'parameter passed ); } Portal : var sURL_editparam = $sp . getParameter ( " sysparm_aparameter " ); if ( sURL_editparam == 'true' ) { gs . addInfoMessage ( 'parameter passed ); }

Service Catalog: variable advanced reference qualifiers

Call a script include to apply a reference qualifier on a catalog item variable: - variable reference qualifier dependent on another variable selection, in this case a variable referencing sys_user (requested_for) On the catalog item form. variable name to apply ref qual filter : retail_equipment variable reference qualifier (on cmdb table ): javascript : new  refqual_functions (). lostStolen_getAssignedCIs (); client-callable script include ( refqual_functions)  function : lostStolen_getAssignedCIs : function (){         //--called from variable set client script, for lost/stolen request (service catalog)     gs . log ( current . variables . requested_for , 'retail_lostStolen_getAssignedCIs' );         return ( 'install_statusNOT IN8,7^owned_by=' + current . variables . requested_for );             //owned_by=1269b79937f1060041c5616043990e41^install_statusNOT IN8,7            },
