Response was not getting as expected in scripted rest API [Patch Rest API]

When I am using the below code, I am setting response as "Sysid" then it was perfectly fine...but when I was the send response as number and short description then I was getting error... what is the issue? how to set response as number and short description?

share the both codes.. please help me... It is a "Patch Rest API"

Below script, working fine [Response]

(function process( /*RESTAPIRequest*/ request, /*RESTAPIResponse*/ response) {
    var getID = request.pathParams.sysid;
    var grt = request.body.data;
    var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
    gr.addQuery('sys_id', getID);
    gr.query();
    if (gr.next()) {
        gr.short_description = grt.short_description;
        gr.contact_type = grt.contact_type;
        gr.update();
		return getID;       //perfectly returning sysid
    }
})(request, response);

Below script, Issue with response

(function process( /*RESTAPIRequest*/ request, /*RESTAPIResponse*/ response) {
    var getID = request.pathParams.sysid;
    var grt = request.body.data;
    var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
    gr.addQuery('sys_id', getID);
    gr.query();
    if (gr.next()) {
        gr.short_description = grt.short_description;
        gr.contact_type = grt.contact_type;
        gr.update();
    }
var n = gr.number;
response.setBody(n);
})(request, response);

Hi @Sathwik 

Did you first check what you are getting in Reponse Body as complete data?

You need to parse through it and check Short Descr and Contact type.

Thank you

Short description and contact type as updating..that was perfectly fine..I have verified.. In response I am getting 505 issue.. Can you suggest some other syntax for response?

Hi, where is a return statement for second script?

Probably you need something like

return {
        "number": gr.number,
        "short_description": gr.short_description,
};

I Hope response or return works similarly..
