Multi Variable Set - ServiceNow

Multi variable set


Multi variable set is a new variable set type that has been introduced in London version of ServiceNow.   Its a great feature but it still requires few enhancements to blend in with rest of the platform.


















Below are few scenarios that I have encountered while working on it and felt its worth a share how I worked around the limitations.


How to limit number of rows using client script?


Write an onload client script as follows

var field = g_form.getField("multiple_approvers");  // multi variable set name
if (field != null) {
field.max_rows_size = 3;  // number of rows allowed to be entered
 }


You would have the multi variable set limiting entries to only 3 and Add button getting grayed out after the 3 entries.


















Here are the related articles on ServiceNow.

  1. Hi Swetha, do you have any idea about the following scenario, after adding multirow variable set to a record producer and when we go to the actual record and try to add a new row it'll not allow, how to enable it such that it accepts the variable rows.
