As a ServiceNow administrator with 8 years experience, I work with the Variable Editor daily. Here's how to edit it properly:Accessing the Variable Editor:1. Navigate to Process Automation > Service Catalog > Catalog Items2. Open your desired catalog item3. Go to the Variables related list4. Click Edit Variable next to any variableKey editing capabilities:- Variable type (string, integer, boolean, etc.)- Reference qualifiers for reference variables- Default values and mandatory settings- UI policies that control when variables appear- Client scripts for dynamic behaviorPro tips:- Always test changes in your development instance first- Use the Preview feature to see how changes affect the user experience- Consider creating a variable set for reusable variables across multiple catalog items- Document your changes in the Comments field for future referenceThe variable editor is powerful but can break things if you're not careful. Make sure you understand how your changes will affect existing workflows and integrations before saving!

Hey! I'm a relatively new ServiceNow admin (about 1 year in), so I remember recently learning the variable editor ropes. Here's my beginner-friendly approach:Simple steps to edit:1. Type "catalog items" in the filter navigator2. Find your item and click into it3. Look for the Variables tab or related list4. Click the little pencil icon next to any variableWhat you can change easily:- Question text (what users see)- Help text (the little info bubble)- Whether it's mandatory or not- The order variables appear inThings to be careful with:- Changing variable types after people have already used the catalog item- Modifying reference qualifiers without testing- Editing client scripts if you're not comfortable with JavaScriptThe ServiceNow community forums are amazing for specific questions - I've found answers to almost every variable editor question I've had there. Also, their official documentation has great step-by-step guides with screenshots!
