Hi Ankur,

I have given filter condition like below but the values which are not storing in worknotes.

 

Script:

var str = '';
if(current.u_actual_effort != '')

str = str + previous.u_actual_effort + ' ';

if(current.u_week_and_month != '')

str = str + previous.u_week_and_month;

current.work_notes = str;
})(current, previous);

It would be form like,

if(current.variables.variable_name=='admin')
{
}
else if (current.variables.variable_name=='abc')
{
}
else if{
}

 

Hi,

you can use switch case as well

var value = current.variables.<variableName>;

switch(value) {

case "abc": task.short_description = ''; // specific description

case "def": task.short_description = ''; // specific description

case "xyz": task.short_description = ''; // specific description

}
