UI Action Condition: 'is one of' or 'is not one of' possible?

[andy_dufresne]

HI All,

I have a cancel button that I want to show only when a user has role 'Change_coordinator' and the state of change is not one of 14, 12, or 3

So My UI condition is:

gs.hasRole("change_coordinator") &&   current.state NOT IN '14','12','3')

ServiceNow doesnt like it, it reports the following error:

Do you know how I can get condition to show: 'is one of' or 'is not one of'?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, This is not possible but you can do same (IN) with "gs.hasRole('change_coordinator' && (current.state == '14' || current.state == '12' || current.state == '3')". And NOT IN with "gs.hasRole('change_coordinator' && current.state == '14' && current.state == '12' && current.state == '3'".

Thanks, Tanaji Patil

Try the later condition i.e. NOT IN provided.

Hi,
I know this is an old thread but here's an alternative that seems to work . . .

gs.hasRole("change_coordinator") &&   (current.state != ('14'||'12'||'3')

> (current.state != ('14'||'12'||'3')

Doesn't do what you think. ('14'||'12'||'3') is evaluated to '14', then is compared to current.state. It would only work for '14', not '12', nor '3'.

This pattern scales well to long lists, especially useful if you have limited space in your Condition:

['14', '12', '3'].indexOf(current.state.toString()) == -1

Alternatively, the 'is one of' pattern:

['14', '12', '3'].indexOf(current.state.toString()) > -1
