How to auto populate short_description when assigned_to is changed from the list view

[moni170]

I need to modify the short_description field of the record whose assigned_to field is changed of modified from list view.

how can i achieve this?

 You can use a Business Rule if you want to cover all the possible ways where assigned_to can be changed, or if you only want to trigger when done from a List then an onCellEdit Client Script is the way to go.

Hi @moni170 ,

If you are editing assigned to from list view create new Oncelledit client script and use below script.

function onCellEdit(sysIDs, table, oldValues, newValue, callback) {
    var saveAndClose = true;
    var newValue1 = g_form.getValue('assigned_to');
    var shortDescription = g_form.getValue('short_description');
    shortDescription = shortDescription + "\nAssigned to " + newValue1;
    g_form.setValue('short_description', shortDescription);
    callback(saveAndClose);
}

Thanks,
