Why changesTo() function does't work?

[jamesgo]

I have a UI action to set change state to pending:

current.state = '-5';

then I use a business rule to check it:

if (current.state.changesTo('-5'))

why this doesn't work? the condition always return false...

Can you show the rest of your business rule? Is this an onbefore or an onafter business rule?

current.state.changesTo() is the correct syntax and should be working.

[jamesgo]

it is a before business rule:

function checkResetConditions() {
   var doReset = false;  //default to no reset
   if (current.state.changesTo(-5)){
doReset = true;  //enable the reset
   }
   return doReset;
}

Now even I put current.state.changesTo into the same UI aciton script, it still returns false...

current.state = -5;
current.update();
gs.log("state change: " + current.state.changesTo(-5));

if (current.changesTo(-5)), no quotes.

Try breaking it up, and see if that gets around whatever the issue is. Try using:

current.state.changes() && current.state == -5
