how to show specific assignment groups from parent to child tasks

[Tanushree Maiti]

Hi @LakshmannaP 

For your use case -

Create an After insert/update Business Rule

• Navigate to System Definition > Business Rules and click New.
• Name: Sync Assignment Group to Child Tasks
• Table: Choose your specific task table

• When to run: Set When to after, check Update, and set the condition to: Assignment Group changes.
• Action tab: Leave blank (we will use a script for cascading).

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

    if (current.assignment_group.nil()) {

        return;

    }

    var childTask = new GlideRecord(current.getTableName()); 

    childTask.addQuery('parent', current.sys_id);  // update Actual parent field in your child table

    childTask.query();

    while (childTask.next()) {

        if (childTask.assignment_group != current.assignment_group) {

            childTask.assignment_group = current.assignment_group;

            childTask.update();

        }

    }

})(current, previous);

@Tanushree Maiti Did you try using the same reference qualifier as parent on the child assignment group field?

Hi @Sandeep Rajput ,

Ref Qualifier - that is definitely an option .  For me alternative solution is easy , that's why shared.

Hi @LakshmannaP ,

You can use a Dynamic Reference Qualifier if your requirement can be met using one of the available Dynamic Filter Options. Dynamic qualifiers are easier to maintain than scripted qualifiers because they do not require custom scripting.

To configure this:

1. Open the Dictionary Entry for the Assignment Group field.
2. Under Use reference qualifier, select Dynamic.
3. Choose the appropriate Dynamic Filter Option that matches your requirement.
