find sysid of existing group which is searched by name

[ankit_sharma487]

plz tell where the problem is in this code. this is not assigning the task to found group 

var groupSysID ;
var groupName = current.variables.group_name;
var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user_group");
gr.addQuery("name", "groupName");
gr.query();
if (gr.next()) {
groupSysID = gr.sys_id;
gs.addInfoMessage("found group" + gr.sys_id);
task.assignment_group = groupSysID;
}

Ok, assuming that before this snippet of code, you've found the task via gliderecord and that glide record variable is called task, then add task.update().

[ankit_sharma487 · Accepted solution]

var groupName = current.variables.group_name;
var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user_group");
gr.addQuery("name", groupName);
gr.query();
if (gr.next()) {
var groupSysID = gr.sys_id;
gs.addInfoMessage("found group" + gr.sys_id);
task.assignment_group = groupSysID;
}

** i used groupName in double quotes ("") which was creating problems
