How to get previous value when form is submitted from UI action

[Chaitanya13]

Hi All,

I am trying to get the previous value from the form when the form is submitted from UI action using 

current.submit();

 Now the BR is calling but getting current previous values as same.

Can someone help on this please.

Thanks.

Hi Chaitanya,

use:

1) current.update();

2) after insert and update business rule.

try this it may work.

Kindly Mark Helpful and Correct if it works and fulfill your requirement.

@Harish Vaibhare  I am using the same . Still i am getting previous and current values are same

[Harish Vaibhare]

you can check with below code in business rule.

var count =0;
    
  for(var field in current)
  {    
     if (current[field] != previous[field] )
     {
                 count++;
     }    
        
   }
    gs.addInfoMessage("count= " + count);

it will give you how many fields have been updated.

Hi,

current.update in BR is not a good practice it takes you in infinite loop.

If you are using current.update then also use setWorkflow as false then you will get values.

Thanks,
