Hi,

 

created one field on incident - Test Date, When assignment group changes - time stamp populate on that field.The problem here is activities updating two times.

 

Business Rule - After - update

Script:  current.u_test_date = gs.nowDateTime();
             current.update();

Hi @Shaik22 

 

In script no need to use current.update() and not recommended to use current.update()

 

 Below code is enough.

Script: current.u_test_date = gs.nowDateTime();
