How to set Display value in business rule for state(choices)?

[Debarpita Basak]

Hi All,

Kindly help me . I got one requirement if the current choices start with pending then it changes to another state Work in progress

the script:

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

var state = current.state.getDisplayValue();
gs.log("track4" + state);
//var a=current.u_email_update.getDisplayValue();

if((state == "Pending-Client") || (state== "Pending-Vendor") || (state == "Pending-Internal")){

//current.state = "Work in progress";
// current.state = 2;
current.state.setDisplayValue('Work in progress');
//current.stage == "closed_skipped";
//current.state = 3;
current.update();
}
})(current, previous);

my query how to set the current state setDisplayValue to Work in progress (I have used------ current.state.setDisplayValue('Work in progress')----these line-) but working not for state choice field kindly suggest . I have to set display WIP or not WIP's value(2).

You cannot set the state value using setDisplayValue() for drop down.

You need to set it directly as below then only it will work

current.state = 2;

Ideal way to set the choice field is using the choice value;

The display value i.e. choice label may change as per business requirement so I would suggest using choice value

If this is before update then remove current.update() as it is not best practice

current.state = 2;

Hi,

That is not how choice values are said as per my previous comment.

Please check with the team as well.

You need to set the value using the choice value only and not label

current.state = 2;

Also remove current.update()

I used to set choice using current.impact=2 and add current.update() method so it worked.

Thank you. it is helpful.
