Most Probable Cause
This issue is seen when any of the variables in the item is set to Mandatory through the variable record, instead of using a UI Policy or the users do not pass the READ ACLs on item_option_new table.
In Jakarta, the SC Catalog Item widget will use the GlideRecordSecure API, which will require modification or ACL creation if you have any variables set directly to 'mandatory'.
OR
In the newer versions like London & Madrid, these errors might be caused by using a custom widget which uses deprecated code.
Solution
To solve this issue, try one of the following things:
- Uncheck the Mandatory checkbox on all variables on the item, and use a UI Policy instead to make the variables mandatory.
- Review READ ACLs on the item_option_new table, and confirm that the users can pass the ACLs. To test, you can create an open-ended READ ACL for all the fields in item_option_new by using a wildcard. See below:
