business rule Script not return value

[sarahjane19]

Good Morning 

I have a scripted business rule that i believe should run when a RITM with a Specific Short description is created/ updated and it should pull a variable for Start Date ( start_date) in to a field on the RITM Form.  however it isn't working 

can anyone help?  This is the Script 

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

// Get the RITM sys_id

var ritmID = current.sys_id;

// Search sc_item_option_mtom for variables on this RITM

var varMtom = new GlideRecord('sc_item_option_mtom');

varMtom.addQuery('request_item', ritmID);

varMtom.query();

while (varMtom.next()) {

var itemOption = varMtom.sc_item_option.getRefRecord();

if (itemOption.name == 'start_date') {

current.u_glide_date_1 = itemOption.value;

break; // stop once we find the right variable

}

}

})(current, previous);

Thanks

Hi @sarahjane19,
You can just use "current.variables.start_date". 
current.variables.<variable_name> will usually fetch the variable value from the RITM form.

Just use:
current.<field_name> = current.variables.<variable_name>
This will set the value of the variable which is Start Date here to the RITM field.

Please mark as Helpful and if this worked for you kindly mark this reply as the Solution!

Hi @sarahjane19 

You can access all the varaibles from the RITM/SC TASKS using the below format.

current.variables.<catalog variable name>

For your scenario, it would look something like this

current.variables.start_date

@sarahjane19 

you can use this logic to access the variable value and set in the RITM field

// give the field name and date variable name
current.setValue('dateField', current.variables.dateVariableName);
