catalog client script to change sc_task state based on variable

[Jenna]

I have a catalog item that creates a catalog task. One of the variables on this catalog item is u_status. When that variable is changed to Complete and the record is saved, I would like the state to change to closed complete(3). I have tried an onSubmit and onLoad catalog client script, but cannot get it to work. How do I write this so it works?

Create a Business Rule on the Catalog Task table (sc_task) to update the state when u_status is set to "Complete":

Jenna just have table ->task, then advanced ->checked, when ->before, insert ->yes, update->yes, 

In conditions ->"current.u_status.changesTo('Complete') && !current.operation() // Ensures it runs only when u_status changes to "Complete"

In script ->"current.state = 3; // Closed Complete" 

save and activate the business rule

Hi @Jenna 

You can do this in your flow. I don't think you can write new script.

Hi @Jenna ,

Please share the code you have written for this change. Also, are you checking this "u_status" value somewhere in workflow/or/flow for task closure. You need to apply wait for condition.

-Thanks,

@Jenna 

you can use before update business rule on sc_task table

Condition:

current.request_item.cat_item.name == 'Your Item Name' && current.variables.u_status.changes()

Script:

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

	// Add your code here
	// give the correct value for complete
	if(current.variables.u_status == 'complete'){
		current.state = 3;
	}

})(current, previous);
