//Code to insert in a Run Script step.
//The below sets the RITM short_description & description values with sample fields from the Catalog Item variables.
//You can copy from a catalog item form field or fill with your own description.
//"stdtask" syntax editor macro could follow in a CATTSK populating the short_description & description from the RITM values assigned here.
//REF: "stdtask" syntax editor macro.

//example...
//set the short description for the workflow
//current.short_description = current.short_description+' - '+current.variables.short_description; 
//current.short_description = current.variables.request_type.getDisplayValue()+' - '+current.short_description;  //get a form value example
current.description = current.variables.description;  //set the description equal to the short_description

//another example...
//set the short_description & description on the RITM
current.short_description = current.cat_item.name+' - '+current.variables.db+' / '+current.variables.environment; 
//current.description = current.short_description;

//Code to insert in a CATTSK
//The below sets the CATTSK due_date, short_description & description values.
//It copies the values from the RITM values which would work in concert with the UI Macro "strrun"
//"stdrun" would previously have populated the RITM from the Catalog Item variables.
//REF: "stdrun" syntax editor macro.

//set the task due date to the request item due date
task.due_date = current.due_date;

//set the short description to match the requested item
task.short_description = current.short_description;

//set the description to match the requested item description
