Using a variable in a Data Source Advanced Script
It is my plan to create a custom button that will launch a flow and pass the AccountID through on the query string. The AccountID will be assigned to a variable called v_AccountIDFull.
I then want to display a dynamic choice to the user of all contacts for that account that meet certain criteria. The list should be sorted.
So to get started, I defined a datasource with this script that has the AccountID value hard-coded in it:
SELECT Id, LastName,Name from Contact
WHERE (AccountID='XXXXX' AND CONTACT_TYPE__C INCLUDES ('Support'))
ORDER BY LastName
Works wonderfully. However, I now want to reference my v_AccountIDFull variable in that script.
To clarify:
1) I cannot use the Choice Lookup filter to do this because I would have to have selected the AccountID from the Contact record in the query above. If I include the AccountID in the SELECT query above I get no results from the dataset.
2) I cannot just use the standard "select the table with the data" option because if I do that I cannot use the INCLUDES statement above to filter out records that have a specific value in a multi-picklist.
- I select the "Dynamic Script" button.
- I see the top pane that says "Elements which can be used in your advanced script." In that list is my v_AccountIDFUll variable.
- I see the bottom pane which has my Advanced Script with the query above.
- What is the syntax in the Advanced Script pane to reference the v_AccountIDFull variable value?
Double-clicking the element in the top pane does nothing. If I change the script to this:
SELECT Id, LastName,Name from Contact
WHERE (AccountID=v_AccountIDFull AND CONTACT_TYPE__C INCLUDES ('Support'))
ORDER BY LastName
I OK that value and then try to hit Next and I get an Advanced Script Validation error:
Data source, ds_Contacts Script was provided
None, WHERE (AccountID=v_AccountIDFull AND CONTACT_TYPE__C ^ ERROR at Row:2:Column:17 unexpected token: 'v_AccountIDFUll' (There was a problem executing your command).
If I change it to have a colon in front to signify a variable:
SELECT Id, LastName,Name from Contact
WHERE (AccountID=:v_AccountIDFull AND CONTACT_TYPE__C INCLUDES ('Support'))
ORDER BY LastName
I get another validation error:
Data source, ds_Contacts Script was provided
None, WHERE (AccountID=v_AccountIDFull AND CONTACT_TYPE__C ^ ERROR at Row:2:Column:17 unexpected token: ':' (Bind variables only allowed in Apex code) (There was a problem executing your command).
If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it....
