only display ui action if current user is the requested for user

[sigmachiuta]

I am trying to create a UI action condition that the user that should see the UI action is the person that has requested the item.   Would this work in the condition?

current.requested_for == gs.getUser().

Ah! ok yea that worked.   the only problem I have is that the state field is being driven by workflow and even though a item is cancelled the workflow state is still in a pending state.   How can I override the workflow state on a cancellation of a workflow/ item?   In my cart I am still seeing the workflow state from the workflow.

function checkCancel(){
   if(g_form.getValue('u_cancel') == ''){
   alert('Please provide a Cancel reason.');
   g_form.setMandatory('u_cancel',true);

   } 
 else {
   gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'hr_cancel');
   }
}
 gs.addInfoMessage('The current item request has been cancelled.');
   current.state= 4;
   current.stage = 'Request Cancelled';

   //get workflow helper
   var workflow = new Workflow();
   //cancel all the workflows, where current is a task record with a workflow context
   workflow.cancel(current);
   gs.addInfoMessage(gs.getMessage("Workflows for {0} have been cancelled", current.getDisplayValue()));
   current.update();

Ill break this question into another thread because I think its a little off target for this thread.
