Script should be checks for lock type field /glide list field for multiple users

[sri vijaya]

Hi

i have a requirement in workflow,if logged in user is knowledge base manager or owner the approval should not go

so i wrote a script in workflow like below

Its working fine for owner ,but coming to managers as it is as a lock field (attached screenshot below) if we add multiple users it not working, and if we add single user its working fine

How can we edit the script to work fine for multiple managers here?

Please help to resolve this issue @Ankur Bawiskar @Dr Atul G- LNG @Shivalika

Hi @sri vijaya 
It's a list collector variable.
So try below script, it'll give you the corrcet output.

answer = ifScript();

function ifScript() {
    var manager = current.kb_knowledge_base.kb_managers.toString();
    var manager_array = manager.split(","); //converting the list value into array
    var owner = current.kb_knowledge_base.owner.toString();
    var currentUserID = gs.getUserID();
    if (currentUserId == owner || manager_array.indexOf(currentUserId) > -1) {
        return 'yes';
    } else {
        return 'no';
    }
}

Hello @sri vijaya ,

Change line #9 to:

if (currentUserID == owner || manager.includes(currentUserID)) {
