How to copy both work notes and additional comments in a field

[sk59]

Hi All,

We are using OOB Time Worked functionality on incident form So I would like to copy the latest Additional Comments /Work notes entered on Incident to comments field in Time worked table.

I wrote a before insert/update BR

var workNotes = current.task.work_notes.getJournalEntry(1);
var additionalComments = current.task.comments.getJournalEntry(1);
var dateRE = /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}.*\n/;

if(additionalComments){

current.comments = additionalComments.replace(dateRE, '');}
if(workNotes) {

current.comments = workNotes.replace(dateRE, '');
}

But it is updating either work notes or comments 

If I first enter comments it is updating comments later if I enter worknotes it is still updating the last comments which i entered previously instead of the lates worknotes.

Please suggest where I am going wrong

Hi Udhay,

I entered as below order

1. Additional Comments : comments1

2. Work Notes: notes1

3. Work Notes: notes2

4. Additional COmments : comments2

But the comments got updated as below 

1. comments1

2. notes1

3. notes2

4. notes2 //again the last updated worknotes i.e notes2 instead of the latest additional comment i.e comment2

// Try this sample code

var additionalComments = '';
var workNotes = '';
var dateRE = /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}.*\n/;

if(current.comments.changes){
additionalComments = current.task.comments.getJournalEntry(1);

}else if(current.work_notes.changes){
workNotes = current.task.work_notes.getJournalEntry(1);

}else{
//Do nothing

}

if(additionalComments != ''){
current.comments = additionalComments.replace(dateRE, '');
}

if(workNotes != ''){
current.comments = workNotes.replace(dateRE, '');
}

In this case worknotes is not getting copied only additional comments is getting copied

In which table you have written your business rule?

[sk59]

table :task_time_worked

when :before insert/update

Script:

var additionalComments = '';
var workNotes = '';
var dateRE = /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}.*\n/;

if(current.task.comments.changes()){
additionalComments = current.task.comments.getJournalEntry(1);

}else if(current.task.work_notes.changes()){
workNotes = current.task.work_notes.getJournalEntry(1);

}else{
//Do nothing

}

if(additionalComments != ''){
current.comments = additionalComments.replace(dateRE, '');
}

if(workNotes != ''){
current.comments = workNotes.replace(dateRE, '');
}
