Issue
Symptoms
After submitting the catalog item request, few variables in the task ticket of the request are empty. But on the catalog item form while submitting, the variables are not empty/blank.
Release
London
Cause
When a variable is in a variable set and the name of the variable and the variable set it belongs is same, after submitting the request, the variable will be empty/blank in RITM. In versions previous to London, a warning message will be shown if the variable and the variable set has the same name.
In London, SN team has enhanced the behavior of the variable set. The variable set will behave as a variable. Hence it is not a recommended configuration to have the same name for the variable set and the variable as this might cause issues such as generating blank values in task tickets, users not able to submit the request etc.,
Resolution
In order to resolve the issue, make sure the name of the variable and the variable set is different.
Reference
Refer the following London release notes to know more about the modifications to variable set.
