Hello ,

yes you can do it though a after update BR on parent table

where you condition can be like state changes (Example)

You can specify your condition and in script you can insert a record in child table

var gr = new GlideRecord('your_child_table_name');

gr.initialize();

gr.field_holding_parent_record = current.sys_id;

gr.insert();

Some thing like this you can do

Hope this helps

Mark my answer correct if this helps you

Hi,

You can use if condition it will run only once

after your query add something like below

var inc= new GlideRecord('table_name');
inc.addQuery(); //add your query here

if (inc.next())
{
inc.initialize();
inc.parent_incident = current.sys_id;
inc.category = current.category;
inc.insert();
}

Hi,

it should be simple enough

BR: After update on Parent Table

Condition: Your Field Changes

Script:

// create record into child table

What did you start and what's not working?

You can use after insert BR on parent table

write code

var gr=new GlideRecord('child_table')

if(gr.next()){

gr.initialize()

gr.category=current.category;

gr.insert()

}
