fetching the requester name from vRA to vRO

[jabersuper]

Hi,

forgive my silly question but I m new to the world of vRA/vRO. I am having vRA Version: 7.6.0 every thing is up and running. 

so far I know that variables can be defined in vRA under Administration>Property Defenition and then used in the blueprint properties so that vRO can fetch those property groups whenever the workflow is called and intiated.

my question is, can I define a variable in vRA inorder to pass the requester username to vRO? I would appreciate any help in this regard.

Thanks in advance

The requestor username is a built-in "system-level" custom property that already exists. If you're using custom forms (provided this is an IaaS and not an XaaS request), you can map this directly to a field without having to specify it. I don't have my lab up right now, but I think it's "requestedFor".
