Hi @Beast ,

try this script

var answer = [];

var arr = current.variables.group.toString().split(',');
for(var i=0; i<arr.length; i++)
{
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
gr.addQuery('group',arr[i]);
gr.query();
while(gr.next())
{
	answer.push(gr.user.toString());
}
}

Hope this helps

Hey @Beast 

Hope you are using Approval - Group activity

Try below code:

var grp = current.variables.group;
var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user_group");
gr.addQuery("name", grp);
gr.query();
if(gr.next()){
    answer.push(gr.getUniqueValue());
}

Feel free to mark correct, If I answered your query.

Will be helpful for future visitors looking for similar questions 🙂
