Hi @vinuth v ,

You can try something as below,

try {
    var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
    gr.addEncodedQuery('state=1'); // queries for state new
	gr.setWorkflow(false); // stops the running of any business rule or sending out any notification
	gr.autoSysFields(false); //stops the updation of fields like created by or updated by
    gr.query();
    while (gr.next()) {
        gr.description = "Testing";
		gr.update();
    }
} catch (e) {
    gs.print('error' + e);
}
