current.UserID ==gs.getUser().isMemberOf(current.assignment_group.toString()) is not working

[SNOW32]

Hello Experts,

I hope you all are doing great. 🙂

I wrote a BR to check the condition if customer added "additional comments" then "State" change into "In Progress" and that customer does not belong to the "Assignment Group". 

I got some scripts from community and tried but its not working.

My Business rule is given below:

When: after (Insert, Update)

answer = (isMemberOfForScopedApp(current.assignment_group)); // Note: standard 'isMemberOf' does not work within Scoped App
function isMemberOfForScopedApp(groupID){
var result = false;
if (groupID != ''){
var userID = gs.getUserID();
var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user_grmember");
gr.addQuery("group", groupID);
gr.addQuery("user", userID);
gr.query();
if (gr.next()){
result = true;
}

}
return result;
}

if (answer == gs.getUserID() || answer == gs.getUser().getDisplayName())

{
current.state = 2;
current.u_feedbacks_state= 2;
current.update();

}

Any ideas on how this might be able to function?

 Thanks in advance!

The above code can't work because the line

answer = (isMemberOfForScopedApp(current.assignment_group));

assign Boolean value to answer variable (true if the current user is member of current.assignment_group). On the other side you use later

if (answer == gs.getUserID() || answer == gs.getUser().getDisplayName())

compares the Boolean answer with user id and user name. Such code can't work. I think it's clear how to fix it.

Hi Oleg,

I tried it with 

answer == true but the code didnt work.

Do you have any other solution? 

Thanks,

Where did you see that "isMemberOf" does not work in a scoped app?  I can't recall using it, but the docs says it should work.

I would change the BR to run Before Insert/Update, and set the following options (including checking the "Advanced" box:

The only bit of code you need would be in the "Condition" field on the Advanced tab:

!gs.getUser().isMemberOf(current.assignment_group.getDisplayValue())

Swati I think you may be confusing this with getMyGroups(), which is not available in scoped applications.

isMemberOf() is available in scope.

Verified using Xplore in Madrid:

Global isMemberOf()

Scoped isMemberOf()

The only differences are that in scope isMemberOf() returns a boolean, but in global it returns a string. 

I believe Jim's solution is correct.

Once you have followed his instructions, you just need to place this bit in the executeRule function:

current.state = 2;
current.u_feedbacks_state= 2;
current.update();
