"Wait for condition" + "Business Rule" do not execute as expected

[ronro2]

Hello guys! 

I have a problem regarding a specific Catalog Item's sc_task (SCTASK). Update: The workflow is based on sc_req_item table. This specific task has the following "Wait for condition" script in the workflow: 

if (!gs.nil(current.project_resource)) {
    // continue workflow
    answer = true;
} else {
    // wait until field project_resource is not empty
    answer = false;
}

The Business Rule, based on sc_task table, is configured as follows: 
- When: before 
- Selected: Update + Insert
- Here is the following Business Rule script: 

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

       // Kontrollera om det är en specifik catalog item
    var catalogItemSysId = '0f0278598c2a1e10ebb6ef259418f246'; // catalog item Teknisk resursförfrågan.
    if (current.cat_item == catalogItemSysId) {
        
        // Kontrollera om state är satt till 3 (Avslutad)
        if (current.state == 3) {
            
            // Kontrollera om project_resource är ifyllt
            if (gs.nil(current.project_resource)) {
                gs.addErrorMessage('Du kan inte avsluta denna uppgift förrän "project_resource" är ifyllt.');
                current.setAbortAction(true); // Stoppa uppdateringen
            } else {
                current.setAbortAction(false); // Tillåt uppdateringen
            }
        }
    }

})(current, previous);

 
The problem: When I select a value for the project_resource field and I change the state of the SCTASK to 3 (Closed Complete) and save, I get the error message (that is only supposed to come when trying to close the SCTASK without a value in the project_resource field).

Update: the project_resource field is a custom field made for a specific catalog item. 

Any ideas why? It is so frustrating and I just don't get why it is not working. 

Thanks in advance!

To clarify, this Business Rule is running on the sc_task table?  'project_resource' is not the name of an out of box field on the sc_task table.  If you have added this field to the table, check the name.  If this is a Catalog Item variable, then use:

            if (gs.nil(current.variables.project_resource)) {

The same syntax would be used in the workflow script.

@Brad Bowman  yes mister! I've updated the Wait for and everything works now! 🙂 Thanks so much! 😍

@ronro2 

so it's a variable based on which you need to wait.

So update the wait condition as per what Brad has mentioned.

@ronro2 

what is project_resource field? where it is present?

What's your business requirement here?

I'm sorry.. the project_resource field is a custom made one for one specific catalog item only. That's where it is present. 

The business requirement is for users in the back-end to need to fill in the project_resource (sys_user  reference) in order to be able to close the sc_task created by the workflow.

@ronro2 

so it's a custom field on sc_task table?

Then it should be with name u_project_resource

Please share dictionary screenshot for that field for better understanding.
