Dynamic Approval Group Scripting

[chrish5]

I need to have the approval group in my workflow be dynamic based on what the users selects from a request form field.   Here are the details.     My request form has a lookup select box called Location (location) that is referring a table holding all my locations.     I am using a BR to copy the selected location to a table column called Shuttle Location (shuttle_location).   I have a workflow associated with this request form with a group approval and this approval has to vary depending on the location is selected.   Each location has its own approval group.   And there are dozens of locations, thus the need to do this dynamically.   I could build this in the workflow with a switch flowing to all the different approvals, but that would be ugly and not very maintainable since locations will change.   I've tried using the below script to make this approval group dynamic, but I keep getting an error that "shuttle_location" is not defined.   Is this switch script the correct way to do this?   Should it be referencing the form variable location rather than the table column shuttle_location that I am copy location to?  

var answer = [];

switch(shuttle_location){

case 'nebraska city':

1. answer.push('Shuttle - Nebraska City');

break;

case 'new rockford':

1. answer.push('Shuttle - New Rockford');

break;

case 'jamestown':

1. answer.push('Shuttle - Jamestown');

break;

case 'amarillo':

1. answer.push('Shuttle - Amarillo');

break;

default:

1. answer.push('Default Approvers');

}

I believe it should be form variable location, can you please try with

current.variables.shuttle_location

Also, in you code not sure what is the purpose of a.answer.push(), i think you can directly use answer.push()

Hi Shishir,

I've tried current.variables.shuttle_location and current.variables.location and both give me an error.     Ignore the a.answer.push().   That came across wrong in the cut/past into this posit.     It is correct as answer.push().

Please use below code

var answer = [];

switch(current.variables.shuttle_location.toString()){

case 'nebraska city':

1. answer.push('Shuttle - Nebraska City');

break;case 'new rockford':

1. answer.push('Shuttle - New Rockford');

break;case 'jamestown':

1. answer.push('Shuttle - Jamestown');

break;case 'amarillo':

1. answer.push('Shuttle - Amarillo');

break;default:

1. answer.push('Default Approvers');

}

Regards,

Sachin

I tried that.   No error, but it is just going thru and not assigning an approval group.
