Decision table API is not creating correct choices

Jan Cernocky · ‎09-13-2023

Hi guys,

I am playing with DT API and I am facing an issue that I cannot explain.

I have the following Decision table

I creat inputs, conditions, answer elements and I also create answer element choices for Loan Approval Decision (4th column) - Denied, Review, Approved

var answerElementChoices = [
   {
      label: 'Denied',
      value: 'denied',
      answerElementId: answerElementID,
      order: 100
   },
   { 
      label: 'Review', 
      value: 'review',
      answerElementId: answerElementID,
      order: 200
   },
   { 
      label: 'Approve', 
      value: 'approve',
      answerElementId: answerElementID,
      order: 300
   }
];

And then I create the Questions (rows in the DT)

var questions = [
    {
        active: true,
        answer: [
            {
                name: "u_loan_approval_decision" ,
                value: "denied"
            },
                    
        ],
        condition: "u_credit_score=poor^u_household_income<50000^u_loan_amount<200000^EQ",
        defaultAnswer: false,
        order: 100
    },
    {
        active: true,
        answer: [
            {
                name: "u_loan_approval_decision" ,
                value: "denied"
            },            
        ],
        condition: "u_credit_score=fair^u_household_income<50000^u_loan_amount<200000^EQ",
        defaultAnswer: false,
        order: 200
    }
]

var questionsResponse = dt.createQuestions(decisionId, questions);

However, instead of linking the Loan Approval Decision to corret choice (Denied, Review, Approved) it creates a new record. And then of course I am getting incorrect results when querying for the decisions.

Any idea how to deal with that and what can be the problem? The documentation is very brief for this topic, the only example for createQuestions shows this:

Which I believe is exactly what I am setting up.

Hi,

Try this

var answerElementChoices = [
   {
      label: 'Denied',
      value: 'denied',
      answerElementID: answerElementID.toString(),
      order: 100
   },
   { 
      label: 'Review', 
      value: 'review',
      answerElementID: answerElementID.toString(),
      order: 200
   },
   { 
      label: 'Approve', 
      value: 'approve',
      answerElementID: answerElementID.toString(),
      order: 300
   }
];

Thanks for reply Shruti, unfortunately this did not help as I am already working with a string in the code

var answerElementID = answerElementsResponse.results[0].record.getValue('sys_id');

Moreover it is showing correctly in decision table view.

But not in the record itself. Even the value for Review Group is missing

It works well with strings
