Check,ing if current user is the Assigned to user

[KamakshiM]

I have written a simple Business Rule on the Incident table to practice on my PDI:

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

    // Add your code here

    let assignedTo= current.assigned_to;

    let currentUser = gs.getUser().getID();

    if (assignedTo ==  currentUser){

         current.subcategory = 'antivirus';

    }

})(current, previous);

The condition (assignedTo ==  currentUser) is evaluating to false even though the two variables have the exact same value when I log them.

I have tried: ===, trim, localeCompare, assignedTo.getValue() == gs.getUser().getID() and a few other things. But it evaluates to false every time.

How could this be?

hi @KamakshiM ,

Please try this.

    var assignedTo= current.getValue('assigned_to');

    var currentUser = gs.getUserID();

    if (assignedTo ==  currentUser){

         current.subcategory = 'antivirus';

    }

Hi Animesh,

  Thanks for your response. 

That did not work because getUniqueValue() returns the primary key and it is a different value.

But your suggestion prompted me to try getValue() and that worked!!

Hi @KamakshiM ,

Correct, geUniqueValue() does not take any arguments and it gives the sys_id of the current record here. In this case getValue() is the best option. Glad that it worked for you I also edited my response later.
