change priority based on variable

Suppose there is a variable in a record producer, and it's a choice field.

 

4 choices are there: A,BCD

 

If I choose A, the priority should be changed to critical 1.

 

How to do this? Trying to do using BR but can't query the condition where I can get variable type.
IN Record Producer script I already written one script for different condition

Hi @Apaul ,

 

To achieve this behavior in ServiceNow, where selecting a specific value (like "A") in a choice variable on a record producer sets the priority to "Critical", you should use a Record Producer Script instead of a Business Rule.

 

 Try this in your record producer script:

// Get the value of the variable from the record producer
var selectedChoice = producer.choice_variable; // Replace 'choice_variable' with your actual variable name
// Check if the selected value is 'A'
if (selectedChoice == 'A') {
    current.priority = 1; // Set priority to Critical (1)
} // likewise do for all choices

 

  • Business Rules run on the server side, and they don’t have direct access to variables on a record producer form.
  • producer refers to the record producer variables.
  • current refers to the record being created (e.g., an Incident or Request)

 

Mark this as helpful and correct, if this helpful.

 

Thanks,

Yaswanth

eeeey I just realised what we all are missing!!!

 

The Priority is calculated based on values in Urgency and Impact, so you cannot just set Priority to some value by a script, it shall be updating the two fields instead. ‼️


So the correct answer is as following:

if (your_variable == 'A'){
current.urgency = 1;
current.impact = 1;
//Priority will be caluclated: 1
}
if (your_variable == 'B'){
current.urgency = 2;
current.impact = 1;
//Priority will be caluclated: 2
}
if (your_variable == 'C'){
current.urgency = 2;
current.impact = 2;
//Priority will be caluclated: 3
}
if (your_variable == 'D'){
current.urgency = 3;
//Priority will be caluclated: 4
current.impact = 2;
}


What you have to decide is for B and D whether you want to have

  • Urg 2 / Imp 1
  • Urg 1 / Imp 2
    • both calculates the Priority as 2

Eventually:

  • Urg 3 / Imp 2
  • Urg 2 / Imp 3
    • both calculates the Priority as 4

 

Please test this solution and let me know how does this go.
