manager approval with evp condition

[gayatri38]

Have created a field "evp" as reference type in sys choice and added 2 options yes/no. So, the requirement is, when user's manager has evp field is yes then ask for approval if not check for managers manager has evp field set to yes. i have written the code, but its not working?

var answer = [];

var evp='yes';

var managerevp= '';

var manager = current.variables.manager.toString();

//gs.print(dept!=managerdepartment);

while(evp!=managerevp){

//gs.print("Testing");

var gr= new GlideRecord('sys_user');

gr.addQuery('sys_id',manager);

gr.query();

if(gr.next()){

if(gr.getDisplayValue('u_isevp').toString()!= evp){

//gs.print("hi");

manager=gr.getValue('manager').toString();

managerevp =gr.getDisplayValue('u_isevp').toString();

//answer.push(gr.sys_id);

}

else{

break;

}

}

}

//gs.info('hello ' +manager);

answer.push(manager);

Can you write the below script on If activity? If yes, you can proceed with approval

 answer = ifScript();

function ifScript() {
 if (request.requested_for.manager.evp=='true') {
       return 'yes';
   }
    return 'no';
 }

As suggested by @Alp Utku, you can have an If activity before proceeding. The other alternate is modifying your script as below

var answer = [];
var manager = current.variables.manager.toString();
if (current.variables.manager.u_isevp=='yes')
          answer.push(manager);

The code is good , Should fill all the evp fields as either yes or no, should not leave empty. Then it worked fine.
