Add encoded query

I have created a CI field that is a list.   How can i write an encoded query to change the line that is not working below to an encoded query are both the queries on line 5 and 6 the same?   I am trying to match a CI that is in a list.

if (current.u_configuration_item != "") {

  var gr = new GlideRecord('u_maint');

  //gr.addQuery('u_configuration_item','IN', current.u_configuration_item);   This line is not working correctly

gr.addEncodedQuery(u_configuration_item>=current.u_configuration_item); Switch the above query out with an encoded query

    gr.addQuery('state', 2);

if (gr.next()) {  

      current.u_event_state = 3;  

      current.update();

The encoded query you have written seems to be incorrect. The operator 'IN' is used to match any one of a list of values, and '>=', which you have used, is a comparison operator. Here's how you can correct it: 1. Comment out or remove the line that is not working correctly. 2. Replace it with the correct encoded query. Here's the corrected code: javascript if (current.u_configuration_item != "") { var gr = new GlideRecord('u_maint'); //gr.addQuery('u_configuration_item','IN', current.u_configuration_item); This line is not working correctly gr.addEncodedQuery('u_configuration_itemIN' + current.u_configuration_item); // Corrected encoded query gr.addQuery('state', 2); if (gr.next()) { current.u_event_state = 3; current.update(); } } In the corrected code: - The encoded query is written as 'u_configuration_itemIN' + current.u_configuration_item. This is equivalent to the commented out addQuery line. - The 'IN' operator is used to match any one of a list of values in the 'u_configuration_item' field. - The 'current.u_configuration_item' is the list of values you are trying to match. Please note that the 'current.u_configuration_item' should be a comma-separated string of values for the 'IN' operator to work correctly. If it's an array, you should convert it to a comma-separated string first.
