Skipping an Approval in workflow

[Maxy691]

Good Afternoon,

I have a requirement to skip the approval if the Requested For is a member of 1 of 2 groups.  I have tried 2 different scripts in a If action in the workflow.  Here is the workflow:

Here are the 2 versions of the script:

answer = ifScript();

function ifScript() {

//var isMember = gs.getUser().getUserByID(current.variables.user + '').isMemberOf('Group Name' && 'Group Name');
var isMember = gs.getUser().getUserByID(current.variables.user + '').isMemberOf('Group Name' || 'Group Name');
if (isMember)
return 'yes';
else
return 'no';
}

**Note I tried both var isMember contexts with the workflow requiring an approval each time the approval task is still created.

Not sure what the issue is, no errors or anything, just fails to return yes.

Hi, ismemberOf() method takes only 1 group as a parameter.

So based on your post, you would need to check each group as a separate condition.
Untested but maybe something like this.

var isMember = gs.getUser().getUserByID(current.variables.user + '');

if(isMember.isMemberOf('Group1') == true ||  isMember.isMemberOf('Group2') == true) {
return 'yes';
}

Have you used background scripts to validate that this script will output what you hope it outputs?
