Operator in If Script

[vcaracci75]

I wrote the following if script in one of my workflows:

function ifScript() {

  if (current.variables.groups_needed == 'ROLE_CAIS SSO') {

  return 'yes';

  }

  return 'no';

}

The "Groups Needed" filed can contain more than one answer. what operator can I use instead of "==" so that if the field contains ROLE_CAIS SSO it will still return true?

Thanks,

Vince

Hi Vince,

You can do a sort of contains search using something like:

if (current.variables.groups_needed.toString().indexOf('ROLE_CAIS SSO') > -1) {

That being said, this would only work if the groups_needed variable is a single or multiline text variable. If it's a list collector variable it's going to store values as a comma separated list of sys_ids.

It's a multiline text filed. I will try this.

Thanks,

Vince

Another thing you might consider is adding toLowerCase() so you don't have to worry about the case:

if (current.variables.groups_needed.toString().toLowerCase().indexOf('role_cais sso') > -1) {

That worked! Thanks!
