Approval based on variable contains

[Jake Adams]

Hi,

I have a reference variable that has the reference of 'Business Unit' table.

I want the approval to go based on the Business unit contains, but it's not working for me.

In the User approval activity I am using advanced.

var answer = [];

if (current.variables.business_unit.indexOf("abc") > -1) {
answer.push(gs.getProperty('approval.one'));
} else {
answer.push(gs.getProperty('approval.two'));
}

Kindly assist

Hi @Jake Adams 

can you keep logs and check if it is entering the if loop and also is it storing the value in answer.

@Jake Adams 

so what's not working? what debugging did you perform so far?

are you sure both the properties have proper sysId of user/group?

Hi,

Even though the business unit contains abc it is still going to the second approval user.

Yes both the properties have the correct sysid of the user

@Jake Adams 

what's your analysis after adding gs.info() statements?

since the variable is reference do this

var answer = [];

if (current.variables.business_unit.getDisplayValue().indexOf("abc") > -1) {
	answer.push(gs.getProperty('approval.one'));
} else {
	answer.push(gs.getProperty('approval.two'));
}
