Run Script to Add/Delete on Related List

[Steven Parker]

Anyone have any examples of adding/removing items from a related list via a Run Script in a workflow?   I am not finding much in my Google searches and I have a related list on our sys_user records and I wanted to update via a Run Script in a workflow.

Thanks Steve!  

I was finally able to figure out what I was doing wrong and model my script from yours.  Thanks again for sharing.

No problem..if you could mark one of the responses as the correct answer (or most correct answer) that would be helpful.

Thanks!

Hi Steve,

It is your post, so I can't mark it as 'correct answer'. But I have tagged all your responses as "Helpful".

Another question for you?  I struggle to know when I need to use 'function' declaration in a Workflow Run Script.  I received some help on my current script that flowed more like yours but someone else said I need to add the following around my script.  I notice my script works with or without it.

Do you have any guidance?

(function () {

})();

I am probably not the best at explaining that, but this article does a decent job.  It really involves the processing and whether it occurs synchronous or asynchronous.  I add them far more in Client Scripts (Client scripts, by default, start wrapped in Function()) than Run Scripts.  Although, I do know one specific example in a Run Script where I use a function within the run script to make each value in the array unique (remove duplicates).  Outside of every client script being wrapped in them, I don't use Function() very often and in Run Scripts, I rarely use them.
