How to create tasks based on value selection in list collector

[Rhonda9]

Hello,

I have been trying to configure a workflow to auto generate tasks based on list collector value selected.   It is creating the task based on the 1st value selected, the other tasks will not generate.

I created an If Activity script in the workflow, but still only 1 task.  Please provide me some guidance... Thank you

An if Activity Script is created for each variable value: 

below is a script for one of the values:

answer = ifScript();

function ifScript() {
var arrayUtil = new ArrayUtil();
var list = current.variables.vm_select_a_service.getDisplayValue();
var arrayList = list.split(",");
if (arrayUtil.contains(arrayList, "Assign Voicemail")) {
return 'yes';
}
return 'no';
}

Hi @Rhonda9 

Can you please provide how your workflow is configured? what all activities used to create tasks (how many if activities?)

Which script is not working?

You can try below:

answer = ifScript();

function ifScript() {
var arrayUtil = new ArrayUtil();
var list = current.variables.vm_select_a_service.getDisplayValue();
var arrayList = list.split(",");
if (arrayList.indexOf("Assign Voicemail")>-1) {
return 'yes';
}
return 'no';
}

Hi @Rhonda9 

It's because when you obtain the display value at the line below, it produces a string separated by commas with spaces at the beginning of each element.

var list = current.variables.vm_select_a_service.getDisplayValue();

Example:

element0, Assign Voicemail, element2, etc

Consequently, the arrayUtil.contains in your if condition returns false as the text "Assign Voicemail" lacks the initial space.

For resolution, you can leverage indexOf for your if condition. like below

answer = ifScript();

function ifScript() {
    var list = current.variables.vm_select_a_service.getDisplayValue();
    if (list.indexOf("Assign Voicemail") >= 0) {
        return 'yes';
    }
    return 'no';
}

Cheers,
