Populate display name field using business rules

[Bargavi]

Hi,

I am trying to populate field_1 with the value "abc field_2" using business rule.

I have tried couple of Before business rule scripts, none of them are working

1. used concatenation

var field_2 = current.u_field_2;

var x = "abc";

var sum = x +' '+field_2;

current.field_1= sum;

2.

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

var gr = new GlideRecord(table_name);
gr.query();

var field_2 = current.u_field_2;
while(gr.next())
{

current.field_1= 'abc' + current.field_2 + ' ';

}
})(current, previous);

can anyone point me in right direction, please.

-Thanks

Hi,

I have a onBefore Business rule to populate Name field on cmdb_ci_network_adapter.

The name field should be populated by "text123 MAC address" from the form.

ex: test123 00:00:00:00:00

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

var macAddress = current.cmdb_ci.mac_address;
var x = "abc";
current.name = x +'-'+macAddress;

}

-Thanks

Do you have any condition or filter in BR. Also share the order and domain info of the BR. And is it on Insert or on update or on both.

I do not have any conditions.

Table : Network Adapter(cmdb_ci_network_adapter)

when : before

order 10000

On insert and on update

I added mac address in the below mentioned ci record.

Then wrote a BR given below.

Script as below

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

current.mac_address= 'abc'+' '+current.cmdb_ci.mac_address.toString();

})(current, previous);

Creating a new Network Adapter.

After inserting the value we have mac address as given below.

Hope this helps.
