I had to setup a way to do this in Change, so maybe you can work with this (I'm not aware of an OOTB/easy way to do this).
UI Action:
Name: Reset Change
Action name: reset_chg
Client: true
OnClick: runClientCode()
Script:
function runClientCode(){
if(!confirm("Performing this action will reset the associated workflow including all approvals. Are you sure you want to continue?")){
return false; //Abort submission
}
//Call the UI Action and skip the 'onclick' function
gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'reset_chg'); //MUST call the 'Action name' set in this UI Action
}
//Code that runs without 'onclick'
//Ensure call to server-side function with no browser errors
if(typeof window == 'undefined')
runBusRuleCode();
//Server-side function
function runBusRuleCode(){
current.work_notes = 'Change Reset';
current.approval = 'Reset';
current.update();
action.setRedirectURL(current);
}There is a OOTB BR called "SNC Approval - Reset conditions" that I updated to be triggered due to the UI Action being used:
Script from there:
// these are the conditions under which the change request approvals need to be canceled and reset
// steps to activate
// 1. enable this business rule
// 2. add some comments so the reset will be noted in the approval history
// 3. uncomment the code for restart or reset based on your requirements
// 4. define the reset condition in checkResetConditions function below
// 5. you must set doReset once you capture the change(s) you are interested in
var comment = 'Approval reset by ' + gs.getUserDisplayName(); //written to the approval_history
if (checkResetConditions()) {
// create a global variable lock on the current record
// this will prevent triggering a second reset while the first reset is still in progress
// lock will be release in a late running business rule called 'Workflow Release Lock'
if (typeof GlideRecordLock != 'undefined')
chg_wf_lock = GlideRecordLock(current);
else
chg_wf_lock = new Packages.com.glide.script.RecordLock(current);
chg_wf_lock.setSpinWait(50); //wait for lock
if (chg_wf_lock.get()) {
gs.print('SNC Approval conditions business rule is locking the ' + current.getDisplayValue() + ' during the workflow reset');
// The following options are available for resetting the approvals:
//
// 1. Mark all existing approvals for the change as 'cancelled' and restart the workflow to create new approvals
new WorkflowApprovalUtils().cancelAll(current, comment);
new Workflow().restartWorkflow(current);
//
// 2. Delete all of the existing approvals for the change and restart the workflow to create new approvals
// new WorkflowApprovalUtils().reset(current, comment);
// gs.addInfoMessage('Workflow has been reset since key fields have been modified');
//
// 3. Leave the approvals for the change in their current state and restart the workflow.
// (so that any new approvals that are required will be created)
// if (comment)
// current.setDisplayValue('approval_history', comment);
// new Workflow().restartWorkflow(current, true);
//
}
//Use this section to reset any necessary information on the Change request
current.state = -5;
current.u_cab_approver = '';
current.u_cab_approval_date = '';
current.work_notes = 'Change approvals and workflow reset by ' + gs.getUserDisplayName();
current.approval = 'not requested';
//Use this section to reset any necessary information on any associated Change tasks
var tsk = new GlideRecord('change_task');
tsk.addQuery('change_request', current.sys_id);
tsk.query();
while(tsk.next()){
tsk.work_notes = 'Change request workflow reset.';
tsk.update();
}
gs.addInfoMessage('Change approvals and workflow reset for ' + current.number + '.');
}
function checkResetConditions() {
var doReset = false; //default to no reset
//add reset conditions here such as:
//if (current.assigned_to.changes())
doReset = true; //enable the reset
return doReset;
}
