Update the short description on SCTASK

[mallikabhupathi]

All, 

I have a requirement to update the SCTASK short description.

I have a field called "Request Type" which has three dropdown options to choose from - 1. Request new vendor 2. Modify existing Vendor 3. Terminate existing vendor.

When any one is selected, the short description should be "Vendor Remote Access: New/Modify/Terminate" for (Vendor name). 

This is working fine. However, the option "Modify existing vendor" has multiple checkboxes. 

When Modify is selected, I need to get the short description as Vendor Remote Access: [Modify -Type of Modification(s)] for Vendor. 

How can this be achieved?

Thanks,

Mallika

You can use a script something like the below:

var checkboxArr = [ 'checkbox_variable_1', 'checkbox_variable_2', 'checkbox_variable_3', 'checkbox_variable_4']; //replace with your varaible names
var selectedAccess = [];
for(var i = 0 ; i < checkboxArr.length; i ++)
{
	if( current.variables[checkboxArr[i]] == 'true' )
	{
		selectedAccess.push( current.variables[checkboxArr[i]].getLabel());
	}
}

if(selectedAccess.length > 0)
{
	current.setValue('short_description', 'Vendor Remote Access: ' + selectedAccess.join(',') + " for Vendor");
}

Note this is just an example, you will need to adjust it.
