Business rule to set assigned to as logged in user -Scoped application

[Mrman]

Hi All,

I am trying to set the assigned to of a HR case after submitting from create new case in HR case management.

below is the business rule created however it is not working in scoped application.

Before Insert 

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




    var Cusr = gs.getUserID();
	var Cag = current.assignment_group.getDisplayValue();
    if (Cusr.isMemberOf(Cag)){
        current.assigned_to = Cusr;
    }

Hi 

I am seeing the logs and I also checked the update checkbox , but still assigned to is not populated

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

    var Cusr = gs.getUserID();
	//var Cop = current.opened_by;
	gs.info('the logged in user is :' +Cusr);
	var Cag = current.assignment_group.getDisplayValue();
	gs.info('the assignment group is :'+Cag);
    if (gs.getUser().isMemberOf(current.assignment_group.getDisplayValue())){
		gs.info('into my if loop');
        current.assigned_to = Cusr;
    }

})(current, previous);

You are using after update BR so you should use current.update() please find the updated script below:

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

    var Cusr = gs.getUserID();
	//var Cop = current.opened_by;
	gs.info('the logged in user is :' +Cusr);
	var Cag = current.assignment_group.getDisplayValue();
	gs.info('the assignment group is :'+Cag);
    if (gs.getUser().isMemberOf(current.assignment_group.getDisplayValue())){
		gs.info('into my if loop');
        current.assigned_to = Cusr;
		current.update();
    }

})(current, previous);

Also, I believe the script which I provided in the very first comment will work but in your original question you mentioned it's before-insert business rule and in the screenshot I can see that it's after-insert business rule.

If you try my very first script in before insert that will also work.

Hi @Alok Das ,

Please let me know if it is best practice to use 'current.update'

I have tried with before insert initially bu the business rule was not getting trig erred and logs were not coming .

I have tried it again with before insert now and not seeing logs .

function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {
	if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf(current.assignment_group.name.toString()))
		gs.info('into my new if statement');
		current.assigned_to=gs.getUserID();
}

Using current.update() in before-insert/update business rule is not a best practice but you can add current.update() in after business rule.
