Can I pass a variable from a requested item to the approval?

cmills_1128 · ‎06-09-2016

Could I achieve this with a client script? I created a string field on the approval form, but I need to figure out how to pass the text from the request to the approval form.

The variable on the item is a single line text variable named bms_program_name

The field on the approval is a string field named u_bms_program_name

Cynthia,

I have skimmed through your comments and noticed that you have only checked insert check-box on the business rule. You will have to check the update check-box too and add this script. It should work now

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

var app = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');

app.addQuery('sysapproval', current.sys_id);

app.query();

while (app.next()) {

app.u_bms_program_name = current.variables.bms_program_name;

app.update();

}

})(current, previous);

Thanks,

Abhinay
