org.mozilla.javascript.NativeArray@3d4ce6 on the variable

[Karan31]

I am trying create an array from the multi line text field that will have group names on new lines.e.g

so in the script i am checking if the array actually getting created or not

var str = current.variables.group_list.toString();
var grpArr = str.split("\n");

current.variables.test_array = grpArr;

&  i am getting the error on the field where i am trying to submit the array to test.

Can someone tell me what this error is  OR any other way i can check array is getting created or not For further uses in the script.

Hi there,

I would expect that this is a variable of type list collector for example? So actually sys_ids comma separated? Can you confirm?

You are performing a split on \n now, though that sounds not valid if it indeed is a list collector type variable with actually sys_ids comma seperated.

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,

Hi @Mark Roethof  it is a multi line text variable that contains value as shown in the image above.

it contains the groups names after the first line of add access.

i actually have to add below script on approval activity to create approval for all the group managers of groups mentioned in the field.

But even after this script the approvals are not getting created.

answer = [];

var str = current.variables.group_list;

var grpArr = str.split("\n");

for(var i=1;i<grpArr.length;i++){

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');

gr.addQuery('name', grpArr[i]);

gr.query();

if(gr.next()){

var manID = gr.manager;

if(manID){

answer.push(manID.toString());

}

}

}

Hi,

Did you check any space at the end of the group name

try this

answer = [];

var str = current.variables.group_list;

var grpArr = str.split("\n");

for(var i=1;i<grpArr.length;i++){

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');

gr.addQuery('name', grpArr[i].trim());

gr.query();

if(gr.next()){

var manID = gr.manager;

if(manID){

answer.push(manID.toString());

}

}

}

Regards

Just an example of values from a List Collector:
