Business Rule - Create copy of current item?

[Edwin Fuller]

Hello everyone

I need to create a duplicate of the current item whenever a field is answered a certain way; Is this possible using business rule script? The duplicate would get created when the field "survey_question_1" equals "New ask based on response". Examples would be great!!

Current Business Rule script

var gdt= new GlideDateTime();

current.actual_completion_date.setValue(gdt);

if (current.survey_question_2 == 'New Ask based on response') {

}

Thank you Abhinay, the script you provided below works perfectly. My next ask is how can I create a copy without copying all of the fields, only the fields that I want/need?

if (current.survey_question_2 == 'New Ask based on response') {

var gr= new GlideRecord("x_hemas_connectus2_x_hemas_connectus_connectus");

gr.newRecord();

gr.insert();

}

To only copy few fields, you can do this:

if (current.survey_question_2 == 'New Ask based on response') {

        var gr= new GlideRecord("x_hemas_connectus2_x_hemas_connectus_connectus");

        gr.newRecord();

        gr.yourfield1 = current.yourfield1;

        gr.yourfield2 = current.yourfield2; //as many fields as you want

        gr.setWorkflow(false);

        gr.insert();

}

There is no direct way for that. You need to map the fields individually.

var gr= new GlideRecord("x_hemas_connectus2_x_hemas_connectus_connectus");

gr.initialize();

gr.<field name>=current.<field name>;

...

....

gr.insert();

Thank you so much, again worked perfectly.

Thanks,

Edwin

if (current.survey_question_2 == 'New Ask based on response') {

var gr= new GlideRecord("x_hemas_connectus2_x_hemas_connectus_connectus");

gr.initialize();

gr.requested_for = current.requested_for;

gr.business_unit = current.business_unit;

gr.watch_list = current.watch_list;

gr.audience = current.audience;

gr.submission_type = current.submission_type;

gr.contract_impacted = current.contract_impacted;

gr.product_line = current.product_line;

gr.request_type = current.request_type;

gr.defect_type = current.defect_type;

gr.department = current.department;

gr.shortdescription = current.shortdescription;

gr.revenue_sla_impacted = current.revenue_sla_impacted;

gr.dollar_impacted = current.dollar_impacted;

gr.work_notes = current.work_notes;

gr.insert();

}
