Update multiple records with background script

[Dawid2]

I need to update couple of the records with the help of the background script. The field I need to update is a free text field, which = to value NAAM. I need to update it so it says NAM.

Here's the script I'm using but it's not working - anyone knows why?

var rg = new GlideRecord('incident');
rg.addQuery("u_alias1", "=", "NAAM");
rg.query();
while(rg.next){
rg.u_alias1="NAM";
rg.update();
}

Hi Rohila

Never directly assign a value to a variable and call multipleUpdate()!

That will cause all records of the table to have the value changed whatever the query!!

Always use .setValue() together with updateMultiple()!

Please fix your comment or remove it before someone, for some reason, decides to use your way of updating the records and actually destroy data in the table!
