current.setAbortAction(true) causes the error message 'Invalid update'

[Andrew Pishchul]

Guys,
I got stuck with current.setAbortAction(true) in a business rule... I have a simple business rule on an incident table:
When:

Before

Update:

yes

Condition:

current.category=='Software'&& !current.hasAttachments()

Script:

gs.addInfoMessage("No attached documents found! Operation cancelled.")
current.setAbortAction(true);

But this rule causes and error message 'Invalid update' when I try to save an incident without attachments and with Category='Software'. My custom info message will be displayed as well, but why 'Invalid update' is there???

That message is hardcoded when an action has been aborted by setAbortAction(). I'm unaware of a way to not have it show.

Are you sure about that? Because I have another business rule with setAbortAction(), it works fine and there is no 'Invalid update' message:

This rule intercepts removal of approval records

Table:

sysapproval_approver

When:

Before

Delete:

Yes

Condition:

current.wf_activity==''&&current.state!='requested'&&current.state!='approved'&&current.state!='rejected'

Script:

current.comments = 'Approval record has been permanently deleted/removed from the original ticket '+current.sysapproval.number+' by '+gs.getUser().getFullName();
if (current.state=='not requested') { current.state = 'not_required'};
current.sysapproval = '';
current.update();
current.setAbortAction(true);

In your script example, the setAbortAction() is after the update(), so the update to the database has already happened. I don't think any message would be displayed in that case.

May be you are missing the semicolon after the gs.addInfoMessage() method..
