update state via script

[Gary22]

hi all 

I am trying to update the status of a control ( sn_compliance_control) using a backend script . 

will "state.setValue('Attest')" work or do i need to find the number corresponding to each state of the control . If yes , how do i do that

Hi @Gary22 ,

The syntax is wrong.

If you are writing this at client script you need to use something like this:

g_form.setValue("state","Attest"); //Attest being the value, if attest is not the value then enter the proper value

If you are writing this at server script you need to use something like this:

current.setValue("state","Attest");

or

grObj.setValue("state","Attest"); //grObj being the glide object

If you want to know the values of the state, open the form right click on state and click configure dictionary, scroll down to the choices you can find the values over there.
