How to add people to watchlist automatically

[ursnani]

I have a   field on Catalog Item "other_interested_parties"( Referring User Table and its a List Collector). When the user adds users to that field and submit the request then the people in that field should be added automatically to watchlist. I know we can do this after Business Rule (Insert).

Can any one please provide with code which helps me alot.

Thanks

Hello Ursnani,

Create a Before business rule on requested item table with insert and update checkbox set to true, with script as

current.watch_list = current.variables.other_interested_parties; //Here I'm assuming other_interested_parties is the VARIABLENAME OF LIST COLLECTOR;

I have many Catalog Items with the same name but different values. so can you please suggest me with an approach on how to achieve this ?

You mean you want to apply to all the catalog items with the same variable name. Can you please give more details.

[ursnani]

yes,

i have nearly 7 SR with the same field and same functionality should apply on all of those fields.

example:

i have ABC, BCD, CDS,..... with the same field "Other Interested parties" but the value of those fields are different like abc_other_...., bcd_other_..., cds_other_...,.....

Now when the user submit the request those people in that field should be added to watchlist automatically

Thanks
