Onbefore Transform map not updating the record, only inserting even though matches with theCondition

[Community Alums]

Following is my field map

following is onbefore script

here I am checking if entity and current_ram combination exits, if yes then update the record.

I am mapping ram with the expected ram

if combination does not exits then create new record

for reference this is the table and following is the form

Following is the script

(function runTransformScript(source, map, log, target /*undefined onStart*/ ) {

    var up = new GlideRecord("sn_risk_advanced_risk_assessment_scope");

    up.addEncodedQuery("entity.nameSTARTSWITH"+ source.u_entity + "^risk_assessment_methodology.nameSTARTSWITH" + source.u_current_ram);

    up.query();

    if(up.next())

    {

        action = 'update';

    }

    else{

        ignore = true;

    }

})(source, map, log, target);

try using this script"

var entityName = source.u_entity;
var currentRAM = source.u_current_ram;

// Create a new GlideRecord instance for the target table
var up = new GlideRecord("sn_risk_advanced_risk_assessment_scope");

// Add query to find records where entity name and risk assessment methodology match
up.addEncodedQuery("entity.nameSTARTSWITH" + entityName + "^risk_assessment_methodology.nameSTARTSWITH" + currentRAM);
up.query();

// If the record exists, update it
if (up.next()) {
    // Map the existing record fields to the target object to perform the update
    target.initialize();
    for (var field in source) {
        if (source.hasOwnProperty(field) && target.isValidField(field)) {
            target[field] = source[field];
        }
    }
    target.setWorkflow(false); // Disable business rules and workflows
    target.autoSysFields(false); // Prevent automatic updating of sys fields like sys_updated_by and sys_updated_on
    target.update(); // Save the changes

    action == 'update';
}
// Else, ignore the record creation
else {
    ignore = true;
}

Hi @Deepak Shaerma ,

target.update I can not use, they are having their best practice set while saving the code, throws error message target.update can not be used in onbefore
