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

Yes. It will apply to all catalog items if the variable name is same in all catalog.

but i am sorry Sanjeev, the name is same but the value of field in each SR is different.

Thanks for the update. It will apply to all the catalog items as long as the variable name is correct. You can also include one more condition to check if the field has a value or not. If it has a value then copy the variable list collector to watch list.

So your modified code should be

if(current.variables.other_interested_parties)

{

current.watch_list = current.variables.other_interested_parties;

}

Write a before business rule in sc_req_item

current.watch_list = current.variables.other_interested_parties;

If you need the watchlist to be populated in catalog task, write a before business rule in sc_task

current.watch_list = current.request_item.variables.other_interested_parties;
