Need help with a business rule to set a value in a field

kuarq · ‎08-30-2017

Hello,

I need to set a value in a field (decimal) depending on the selection of a choice list field. I suppose this can be done with a business rule but can't make it to work.

The choice list field is 'size' and the choices in the list have the following values: small, medium, large, xlarge and xxlarge

The field to set the value is 'score_size'

The logic is:

Condition:

If 'size' changes

Action:

If size = small then score_size = 2

If size = mediumthen score_size = 4

If size = large then score_size = 6

If size = xlarge then score_size = 9

If size = xxlargethen score_size = 10

I created a condition stating

Need some help with the code and is this gonna be a before or after rule?

Thank you

I managed to do it with an before business rule with the following code:

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

current.score_size = current.size;

})(current, previous);

This would be a ui script... and with the onChange.. so if one field changes the other one will change a also

Hello Carlo,

I think a UI script won't work in my case because I forgot to mention that the field 'score_size' receiving the value is a hidden field.

I believe you can use a client script and accomplish this without any code. Just set your condition to fit your needs.

If you want to use a business rule I think you would want it be before so the value changes and is then saved to the database. In your code set,

score_size = '0';

this will change the value for you.

Cheers,

It doesn't have to be '0' either! It can be whatever the number is for that particular choice, hope this helps.
