This question is about Request Item / catalog task variables in Service now and how we can sync the information on these linked tables to jira issue using exalate ? Variables are not like normal fields. The table that is used is sc\_item\_option\_mtom, which just links sc\_req\_item and sc\_item\_option.
Request Item: sc\_req\_item
Request Item to Variable: sc\_item\_option\_mtom
Variable: sc\_item\_option

Hi Dushantha
Request items have been introduced in version 5.0.17 and support for catalog tasks are currently being tested (version 5.0.18). The release candidate is available on hub.docker ([here](https://hub.docker.com/r/idalko/snownode/tags)) when using an on premise deployment of Exalate
If you use an exalate.cloud node, you will have to wait for 5.0.18 to be deployed in the course of the coming days.
Also - we are currently looking into a more generic approach to support any table.
Hope this helps
