Hello i hope that can help
The issue with accessing previous values in Flow Designer script actions called from Business Rules is a common challenge. Here are solutions to help you pass and access previous values:Solution 1: Pass Previous Values as Flow InputsIn your Business Rule, explicitly pass the previous values as input variables to the flow:Business Rule (Before/After Update):
javascript(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
// Store previous values in an object
var previousValues = {
state: previous.state.toString(),
assigned_to: previous.assigned_to.toString(),
priority: previous.priority.toString()
// Add other fields you need
};
// Trigger the flow with both current and previous values
var inputs = {
current_record: current.getUniqueValue(),
table_name: current.getTableName(),
previous_state: previousValues.state,
previous_assigned_to: previousValues.assigned_to,
previous_priority: previousValues.priority
};
sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().trigger('your_flow_sys_id', inputs);
})(current, previous);Then in your Flow Designer script action, access these as input variables:
javascriptinputs.previous_state
inputs.previous_assigned_to
