Hoping someone can help. My knowledge is very limited and I didn't write any of the code mentioned here.

We have a business rule (Task [task] that updates the body of a Zendesk ticket (third party ticketing system) via TASK. Everything works fine in regards to adding/posting updates to Zendesk, with the except of Quotes.

The only issue we have is; IF the Work notes contain Double Quotes (") the Zendesk ticket is not updated.

The error refers to this part of code I think... lines 111 - 121 - I think I need some extra code added to strip or replace the ", Not sure to be honest, but a string of some kind needs adding.

This is the full code:

	gs.addInfoMessage("Task Type : "  + current.sys_class_name);
	if(current.work_notes.changes()) {

	if(current.comments.changes()) {

Your help would be much appreciated,

Kind regards,

Sorry, that didn't work. 

 

Have a good weekend, maybe we'll fix it on Monday. Fingers crossed.

This line of code worked.

r.setStringParameter('comments', new global.JSON().encode(worknotes));

Here's the full block of code: example

if (current.sys_class_name == 'incident_task' && current.work_notes.changes()) {
		var worknotes = current.work_notes.getJournalEntry(1).toString();
		worknotes = worknotes.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9 ]/g, " "); // remove " from worknotes
		r.setStringParameter('comments', new global.JSON().encode(worknotes));						 
		}

However, line breaks no longer work.

As you can see, there's one continuous line of text now. I just need the line breaks working and all will be fixed.

I changed this 

(/[^a-zA-Z0-9 ]/g, " ");

TO:

(/[^a-zA-Z0-9\r\n ]+/g, " ");

 

		if (current.sys_class_name == 'incident_task' && current.work_notes.changes()) {
		var worknotes = current.work_notes.getJournalEntry(1).toString();
		worknotes = worknotes.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9\r\n ]+/g, " "); // remove " from worknotes
		r.setStringParameter('comments', new global.JSON().encode(worknotes));							 
		}	

Seems to have worked.
