Flow that automates adding/removing group type to a user group after Request from Catalog Item

[AlexanderH23091]

Hi all,

i need some help.  We have a catalog item for users to request if they want to add or remove group types like itil etc. The user puts the information in variables and after that i call them in the flow.

And how can i change the group type? If i select the table user group there is only a field Type. And in this field i cannot enter either the variable or the sysid of the variable.

Has someone a solution? Or an idea how i can automate it. It must be via Catalog Item the request.

Thanks

Alex

@AlexanderH23091 

type field on sys_user_group is list type and refers to table "sys_user_group_type"

So you will have to set the sysId of the record

Note: I assume your variable what_type is referring to table "sys_user_group_type"

If yes then use f(x) script and set it

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi Ankur, i am doing this in the script. But it returns object GlideRecord

// Get the sys_ids of the type in the group
var currentTypes = fd_data._3__look_up_record.record.type.toString();
var typeToAdd = fd_data._2__get_catalog_variables.what_type.toString();

if (currentTypes == '') {
    return typeToAdd; // If the list is empty, just add the new type
    } 
else {
    // Combine the current list with the new type, separated by a comma
    return currentTypes + ',' + typeToAdd;
}

Now for unexplained reason it updates/returns nothing in the group. Even not object GlideRecord. It still has his assigned group type and nothing more happens
