Using a business rule to update an incident field

Good day all,

this is going to be a really silly question but I must be missing something very basic.

I have a customer submitting Incident Requests into my Service Now instance. Their short description comes in as a 4 digit number.

In order for my customer's service management system to recognise my responses as part of that ticket chain they need to see responses come back as ##number##.

I have tried to create a business that fires on insert with a script that looks at the short description field and   then adds the hashes to it. For some reason i can't get it to work.

My script looks like this:

function onBefore(current, previous) {

var desc = current.short_description;

current.short_description = ( '##' + desc + '##');

current.update();

}

thank for for you help.

Colin
