addDays function not working correctly

[sndev1099]

Hi, 

I have created an after business rule on the issue table with the following conditions:

Materiality rating (on associated control) = high
Status (on associated control) = non compliant

My code:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

var date = new GlideDateTime();
date = current.start_date;
date.addDays(25);
current.end_date=date;
}
)(current, previous);

All I'm wanting to do is add 25 days to the planned end date field on the issue. Can anybody point out what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi there,

Below code is working for me (just tested this on a after BR on change request):

var date = new GlideDateTime(current.start_date); 
date.addDays(25);
current.end_date = date;
current.update();

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,
Mark

Hi Mark. Thanks for your quick response. Still no luck unfortunately. 

Could it be that my conditions are incorrect? I'm dot walking to the Item (control) to get the fields.

Hello Bracken,

Try removing conditions and test it. Also add logs to check BR is running or not.

Please mark as Correct Answer/Helpful, if applicable.
Thanks!

I can't tell where these conditions are coming from / if these are correct. For example, maybe the Control is empty? Though you could start the script with a log statement. For example:

gs.info('BR Test');

Then check if this is written in the system log. If not, did not trigger.

There are more debugging options, like the script debugger, though I don't know how experianced you are.

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Have you also checked the other When to run fields? Like is this on Update? Or on insert? Etc..

Kind regards,
Mark
