How to dynamically update a field value

[sandyml]

Hello,

I have the following question:

I am dealing with a request item, and I am setting the assignment_group field on the request item = to the assignment _group field from a specific catalog task. (to make this easier, I basically set up 2 variables on the Request Item / Catalog Task and am having the assignment_group field write to this variable so the coding was easier.

current.variables.AssignmentGroup = task.assignment_group;

current.assignment_group = current.variables.AssignmentGroup;

This is populating the Assignment Group field on the Request Item based on the assignment_group from the catalog task. However, if I update the assignment_group on the catalog task, it won't update the Request item assignment group.

Does anyone know how to make this dynamically update ? We would like to be able to update the task assignment group and have it flow all the way to the request item assignment group..

Thanks!

Hi Mani, thanks for the response.
I tried this business rule and it is basically changing the assignment group of the catalog task back to what it previously was.

So here is the flow again (because I know it's difficult to follow if you don't have it in front of you 😞

Catalog Task - there is an assignment group field

Catalog Task / Request Item - I have created a variable called AssignmentGroup. There is code to populate the AssignmentGroup variable with the value from the assignment_group field-here is the code:

current.variables.AssignmentGroup = task.assignment_group;

Next,I have the Request Item assignment_group field reading from the AssignmentGroup variable using this code:

current.assignment_group = current.variables.AssignmentGroup;

This works fine, unless I update the assignment_group field on the catalog task.

What I need to have happen is for when the assignment_group field is changed, for the AssignmentGroup variable to be changed, thus updating the Assignment_Group on the request item.

I hope that might help clarify. Any suggestions would be welcomed!

Thanks!!!
