After business Rule - Insert

[ravimareedu]

I am trying to assign value to assignment group with after business rule - insert. 

But not successful. 

I see only display messages are successful on after business rule - insert.

I think on same table update may not possible after insertion with business rules.

Am I doing wrong practice?

Hi @ravimareedu, 

if you would like to make changes to the current record it's almost always best to use a before business rule. Here's a good explanation: ServiceNow Development Handbook - Business Rules  

Best regards,

Are you updating a current record? Don't use a after rule for that.

After business rules run AFTER the record has been inserted or updated.
This means you'd have to include something like current.update() to update the current record with an after rule. This however triggers update BR's on the current record, so it's not recommended at all as it can cause a lot of issues.
If you're updating another record with GlideRecord, then using update() for that record is OK.

Use a before rule to change values on a current record. A before rule makes changes before the record is inserted/updated, so it doesn't need the current.update() call and it doesn't trigger BR's again.
