Am i missing something?  Please help!

Hi Jen,

Verify that the selected value (not text/label) of the choice field is 'admin', and your custom field name and value are correct.  You can add an alert on newValue to verify that the if condition is satisfied.

Hello @Jen11 ,

 Did you print the value of "Operational work type", add this line of code before the if condition, 

g_form.addInfoMessage("Value of work-type: "+newValue);

i double checked and everything is correct:

Since your custom field that you're trying to set is on the task table, not resource plan, use:

g_form.setValue('task.u_work_category', '4');
