Evaluating condition fields

[Mark Roethof]

Hi all,

Just for testing purposes, I'm wondering how to evaluate condition fields. Specifically, if a user would have access based on the condition field.
For example, a condition field which contains:

(function execute() {

    return false;

})()

Or:

(function execute() {

    var incidentGr = new GlideRecord('incident');

    return incidentGr.canWrite();

})()

How can I check, if the condition in the condition field, evaluates to true for the logged in user? Any ideas?

Kind regards,
Mark

Hi,

Your condition fields are executed on server side and they expect true or false to allow whatever there purpose is.

Not sure why would someone use IIFE in condition field however, it can be used.

For evaluation, I'll suggest to either add info messages or add logs in sytem to evaluate whether your condition script returned true or not.

Thanks

For example, Virtual Agent topics contain such conditions. Though, If I would like to present a list of topics to a user, I would only like to present the topics the user has access to. Therefor I need to evaluate these conditions, which are stored in a field. Though, how?

I know within Topics there is a vaSystem property. Though, this concerns using this in a Business Rule for example where obviously we don't have the vaSystem property available.

Kind regards,
Mark

I am able to evaluate most conditions in the field with below code. Though not all unfortunately, also not Scoped 😞

GlideRhinoHelper.evaluateAsBoolean(gr.applicability)

Any ideas?

Kind regards,
