How to insert approvals using a script

[sk59]

Hi All,

I would like to insert an approval using a BR. Please let me know how to achieve this.

I have a field ABC(glide_list), I want to add the approvers in this field as approvers when a change is completed.

Thanks in Advance

Oh,

Now i got the issue. And you want this to be in Workflow Group Activity or Business rule only?

Hi Ashutosh,

Did you get a chance to look at this?

Hey,

Yes.

See below script:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

// Add your code here
var app = current.field_name;//Where groups are selected
gs.addInfoMessage(app);
var spl = app.split(',');
var len = spl.length;

for(var i=0;i<len;i++)
{
var m = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_group');
m.initialize();
m.parent= current.sys_id;
m.assignment_group = spl[i];
m.state = 'requested';
m.insert();
}
})(current, previous);

Thanks,

Hi,

Sorry below one is the corrected script:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

// Add your code here
var app = current.u_groups;//Where groups are selected
gs.addInfoMessage(app);
var spl = app.split(',');
var len = spl.length;

for(var i=0;i<len;i++)
{
gs.addInfoMessage(i);
var m = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_group');
m.initialize();
m.parent= current.sys_id;
m.assignment_group = spl[i];
m.approval = 'requested';
m.insert();
}
})(current, previous);

Thanks,

Ashutosh
