Hello @armanoj 

Seems like your requirement is - "Based on the parent record, I need to find any related Review Task that is currently in Request Revision status. If such a Review Task exists, update its state to Assigned."

var count = 0;
var reviewTask = new GlideRecord('your review task table name'); //update the table name
reviewTask.addQuery('parent', current.parent);
reviewTask.addQuery('state', 'request_revision'); //update the field name
reviewTask.query();
while (reviewTask.next()) {
    count++;
    reviewTask.setValue('state', 'assigned'); //update the field name
    //reviewTask.update();
}
gs.info(count);

 
If yes, then your flow will be something like:
