Dependencies to the request type

It may be useful to display data related to the request type. For instance, you can configure a service catalog on your remote datasource that displays different services according to the request issue type. For instance, a "Hardware" request type will display the following values from the service catalog: 

  • New MacBook

  • New PC

  • New Phone

To do that, you can reference request type attributes in a Connected item query:

The $requestType variable is available and exposes 2 attributes:

Type

Name

Description

Example

String

id

Returns a unique identifier which corresponds to the current request type key

$requestType.id> "10006"

String

name

Returns a string which corresponds to the current request type name

$requestType.name


> "New MacBook"
