Check if "Requested for" account CONTAINS specific value in User criteria script

[Sue143]

Hi all,

I am limiting the visibility of catalog items with an user criteria by role, but at the same time I want to check the "requested for" to see if its name CONTAINS "-ADM", if so, allow the catalog item to be requested.

This is my script, but it isn't working (user is not allowed to be request the catalog item where the user criteria applies):

answer = ifScript();

function ifScript() {

    var userObject = current.getValue("requested_for");

    if (userObject.indexOf("-ADM") > -1) {

        return 'yes';

    } else

        return 'no';

}

any help will be appreciated!

@Sue143 

requested_for is a reference and would give you a sys_ID and if you try getValue(). Could you try getDisplayValue() method instead?

Hi @Sue143, 

Please try the updated code.

answer = ifScript();
function ifScript() {
    var userObject = current.getValue("requested_for").getDisplayValue();
    if (userObject.indexOf("-ADM") > -1) {
        return true;
    } else
        return false;
}

-Thanks,
