Work notes is not populating via setValue()

[123456789456123]

This might be simple but I have never had to work with journal entries before. I was wondering if they behave differently that normal string fields. Here is an example/problem I am facing:

I would like to update the Work Notes field but am having no success. Eventually this will be run from a workflow script but currently I am testing this in a business rule.

var info = 'data';
var gr = new GlideRecord('table name here');
gr.initialize();
//see below
gr.insert();
gr.update();

                  Below are the multiple way I have tried to insert data into the work notes field with zero luck.

gr.setValue('work_notes', info);
gr.setValue('work_notes', 'data');
current.work_notes = info;
current.work_notes.SetJournalEntry(info);

If anyone could tell / explain to me what it is that I am doing wrong would be really helpful.

Thank you.

instead of using

gr.setValue('work_notes', 'data'); //setValue does not work for field of type journal input

you can use

gr['work_notes'] = 'data';

This last syntax is especially useful when 'work_notes' is contained in a variable.

Exemple

var fieldName = 'work_notes';
gr[fieldName] = 'data';

Simply assign the value directly but make sure to make it a string.

inc.work_notes = value + "";

or 

inc.work_notes = value .toString();
