Hi can anyone pls help me with scenario for,

 

when a field in group table 

"Name"

"Manager"

"Group Members'

 

are updated. i have to make a field "Worknotes" mandatory in group table

i have written a before business rule with an update option and written the below code:

 

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

if(current.name.changes() || current.manager.changes() || current.sys_user_grmember.changes())

if(current.u_work_notes.isNil){

gs.addErrorMessage("Please fill data in worknotes field");
current.setAbortAction(true);
}

})(current, previous);
 
whenever changes are made for the above two fields record is getting saved but i dont want record to be saved unless worknotes field is filled and the above code is not working when group members are added or removed.
 
Please help me with this

Hi @raj765_32 ,

 

Please try the below:

In Advance section:

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

    if (current.u_work_notes.isNil()) {
        gs.addErrorMessage("Please fill data in worknotes field");
        current.setAbortAction(true);
    }

})(current, previous);

 

This will work for both the fields 'Name' and 'Manager' but not for Group members because that is not a field rather it is a separate table. So, we need to write a business rule on that table separately.

Go with 3 checkbox as true, then it will also consider when you are removing user:

@raj765_32 ,

 

Could you please share your setup of business rule and what is not working, the users are getting added?

i have kept before business rule, insert and update and sys_group member table and the below code:

 

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

var grp = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');
if (grp.get(current.group)) {
if (gs.nil(grp.u_work_notes)) {
gs.addErrorMessage("Please fill data in worknotes field");
current.setAbortAction(true);
}
}
})(current, previous);
 

Hi @raj765_32 ,

 

I have tried the same in PDI and it is not adding user in the group.

 

Business Rule on [sys_user_grmember], before insert+update

 

From the group, adding member using 'edit' or 'new' button. No user added.

Please show the screenshots of the issue from your end.
