Business rule for populating the hiring manager from the employee ID for catalog item

[Vdixt]

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

	// Add your code here
	var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
gr.addQuery('employee_number',current.variable.manager_employee_number); 
gr.query();

if(gr.next()){
{

current.variable.hiring_manager= current.gr.sys_id;
current.update();

}
}
})(current, previous);

Manager employee number is a string variable and I am trying to populate the hiring manager field. so This catalog item is getting generated from integration they are sending us the employee number and we have to populate the hiring manager from that number.

Hi @Vdixt ,

Use variables instead variable

like :

addQueryline - current.variables.manager_employee_number

update line :    current.variables.hiring_manager= current.gr.sys_id;

Hi @Vdixt ,

When does this BR runs???, Need to understand your form variables.

check are you getting manager_employee_number by logging it BR.

gs.info("Manager number "+" "+current.variables.manager_employee_number)

I checked it I am getting the manger employee number, so this request is creating through third party tool, we are using scripted rest API to set the variables, so now they are sending us the  Manager employee  number and we have to populate the hiring manager field after creating the request.
