Why do I get null in async on insert and delete business rule?

[John_123_Snow]

(function executeRule(current, previous) {

gs.log(current.operation());

})(current, previous);

any reason why do I get null for current.operation() ? what I see online it should work but it doesnt.

Hi

Instead of async, do it in before delete where you can access table_sys_id and pass it to the 3rd party API.

Mark the comment as a correct answer if this answers your question.

It says it in the script:

/*null when async*/

Meaning both previous and current will return null when you run the script asynchronous.

[Allen Andreas]

That "null" information is only talking about "previous" in async, which is true, it will be null and you don't have access to it.

Current is still available in Async: https://hi.service-now.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0687840

The problem here is that it's current and delete....and async, which only then is current not available in async.

Thanks!
