Hello @James Chun ,

Thanks above code is working!

but i want to show the button for two categories only i have added on the condition but 

now button is not visible.

current.getValue('model_category') == 'Smartphone' || current.getValue('model_category') == 'Smartphones_Insight'

Hi @akin9,

Are you sure you are using the right value? Maybe it's 'smartphone' not 'Smartphone'?

[James Chun]

Sorry, just realized it's a reference field.

You can either use the 'sys_id' of the Model categories or use its display name.

i.e. current.model_category.name.toString() == 'Smartphone'

Hi @James Chun ,

Thanks its category is working but one of the field operational status and "lifecycle" fields not able to update. pls correct me!

function doRetire(){

	if(confirm('Are you sure want to inactive this device?'))
	{
		gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'inactive_device');
	}
}

if(typeof window == 'undefined')
retireDevice();

function retireDevice(){
	current.setValue('install_status', 7);
	current.setValue('substatus','disposed');
	current.setValue('life_cycle_stage','End of Life');
	current.setValue('life_cycle_stage_status','Retired');
	current.setValue('operational_status','Decommissioned');
	current.comments = 'Automatically retired on ' + new Date() + ' by System'; current.install_status = '7';

	current.update();
}

Hi @akin9,

I believe the life_cycle_stage and life_cycle_stage_status are both reference types, not a string type.

And I am not sure whether it's recommended to update the life cycle stage & life cycle stage status in this way. It may break/interfere with other OOB processes. Unfortunately, I can't comment too much on this.

Cheers
