Pending state on the task form should cascade to the parents (RITM and Request)

[Christian22A]

When the state of a Catalog Task is changed to pending the RITM and Request state should also change to reflect the task.  How is this completed with a Business Rule?

Hi @Christian22A 

Create an after business rule in sc_task table and use GlideRecord on RITM table and REQ table. You can use RITM reference field to filter the GlideRecord query.

Example:

var ritm = new GlideRecord(‘sc_req_item’);

ritm.addQuery(‘sys_id’ , current.request_item);

ritm.query();

if(ritm.next()){
ritm.state= current.state;

ritm.update();

}

var req = new GlideRecord(‘sc_request’);

req.addQuery(‘sys_id’ , current.request_item.request);

req.query();

if(req.next()){
req.state= current.state;

req.update();

}

if current.request_item will not work then use current.parent. 

Add Condition in your BR that state changes to pending

Thank you!
