How to make 'Incidents fix by Change' mandatory in change request?

Hermes14 · ‎02-10-2025

Hi,
how do i make the incident fix by change mandatory in the related list tab in change request?

Dr Atul G- LNG · ‎02-10-2025

You can use a BR to make it mandatory, but the question is—does an incident always get fixed through a change in practical scenarios? Rethink this approach, but yes, you can enforce it as mandatory if needed.

@Hermes14

you can use before update business rule and check and abort the update.

Condition: Category Changes to Service

Script:

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

    // Add your code here
    var gr = new GlideRecord("incident");
    gr.addQuery("rfc", current.sys_id);
    gr.query();
    if (!gr.hasNext()) {
        gs.addErrorMessage('Please add data in related list');
        current.setAbortAction(true);
    }

})(current, previous);

so currently there is an issue where when I save, the message pops up and the actions are aborted but the state still moves. e.g. new to assess state. Only when I refresh the page where it goes back to new state. Hoping for a solution for this

Hi @Hermes14

This is expected as it is just showing state but did not get saved.
