How to use "Contains" condition in the workflow if condition script.

[Tamilvanan T]

I have a requirement where i need to create two catalog tasks parallel on the basis of the application name.  So in the workflow I'm trying to add the if condition that contains the application name. 

Condition:

answer = ifScript();

function ifScript() {

    if (current.application_name.indexOf('OpenText') > -1) {

        return 'yes';

    }

    return 'no';

}

Am I missing out something or is there a way to achieve this. Need to know how to establish this condition in the workflow. 

Thank you!

Hi!
May I point out that you could return the same checking state by using ternary operator?
Something like this will do the trick:

return current.application_name.indexOf('OpenText') > -1 ? true : false;

What do you think?

I believe application name is a variable on your catalog form and it's reference type

if yes then update as this

answer = ifScript();

function ifScript() {
    if (current.variables.application_name.getDisplayValue().indexOf('OpenText') > -1) {
        return 'yes';
    }
    return 'no';
}

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
