if statement in business rule

[chrisn_]

Hello everyone,

I am a bit rushed and having trouble modifying this script to behave the way I want.

I have a business rule that I need to query the cost plan table which works, and set the custom funding state field to a certain value. The issue is I only want this to change cost plans that have a state value of 1 or 4. Can someone please help me take this across the finish line with the if statement? Does this look correct?

var gr = new GlideRecord("cost_plan");
gr.addQuery("task", current.sys_id);
gr.query();
while(gr.next()){

if (gr.u_funding_approval_state == ('1' && '2');
//gs.addErrorMessage('BR is executing');
gr.u_funding_approval_state = current.u_funding_approval_state;
gr.update();
}

Hi Chrisn,

You can use addOrCondition() in a script to filter the records. Please refer below link for reference with example.

var gr = new GlideRecord("cost_plan");
gr.addQuery("task", current.sys_id);
gr.query();
while(gr.next()){
	if ((gr.u_funding_approval_state == '1') ||  (gr.u_funding_approval_state == '4'))
	{
		gr.u_funding_approval_state = current.u_funding_approval_state;
		gr.update();
	}
}

Hello vkachineni,

That is very close to what I managed to get working before I saw your update. This is working for me.

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

var gr = new GlideRecord("cost_plan");
gr.addQuery("task", current.sys_id);
gr.query();
while(gr.next()){
if (gr.u_funding_approval_state == ('1' || '4'))
//gs.addErrorMessage('BR is executing');
gr.u_funding_approval_state = current.u_funding_approval_state;
gr.update();
}

})(current, previous);

I was hoping if you have one more moment, if you could take a look at another script. 

This business rule is trying to go reverse of what the above did. The above executed from a project and affected all of it's down stream cost plans. I am trying to make a business rule that will change the funding state of the project when the cost plan's state is changed to a 4.

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

var gr = new GlideRecord("pm_project");
gr.addQuery("task", current.sys_id);
gr.query();
while(gr.next()){
if (gr.u_funding_approval_state == ('2'))
//gs.addErrorMessage('BR is executing');
gr.u_funding_approval_state = '4';
gr.update();
}

})(current, previous);

Currently it doesn't appear to be working. I believe it might be the addquery portion, any thoughts?

Hi,

var gr = new GlideRecord("pm_project");
gr.addQuery("task", current.sys_id);
gr.query();
while(gr.next()){
if (gr.u_funding_approval_state == 2)
//gs.addErrorMessage('BR is executing');
gr.u_funding_approval_state = 4;
gr.update();
}

try the above one

Mark it correct/helpful if it helps you
