multiple records update on setWorkflow(false)

[Mohammed Lais1]

Hi

i am trying to update multiple ritm records through workflow.

i am using the below code.

var req = current.request;
   var gr = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');
   gr.addQuery('request',req);
   gr.orderBy('number');
   gr.query();
   while(gr.next()){
   gr.variable_pool.test_access_created="true";
   gr.update();
   }

this is updating only one record.but the query is fetching multiple records.

if i add

gr.setWorkflow(false);

before gr.update();

all the records are getting updated perfectly.

can we update the multiple records without making the workflow as false?

Hi, not sure if you want to use setWorkflow - it is used to skip running business rules during a gliderecord update.

https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/api_doc?v=helsinki&id=r_GlideRecord-setWorkFlow_Boolean

Enables or disables the running of business rules that might normally be triggered by subsequent actions. If the e parameter is set to false, an insert/update will not be audited. Auditing only happens when the parameter is set to true for a GlideRecord operation.
