I have written below If condition advanced script but its failing 

Reference variable Department has Question and Name value both as Department. Image attached

var Department = current.variables.Department.getDisplayValue();
if (Department.toString().indexOf('Information Technology') >-1 || Department.toString().indexOf('GST') >-1){
return 'yes';
}
return 'no';
}

Hello Mohith,

This will be true only if Name is "Information Technology" or "GST".

I have many departments which has name containing "Information Technology" or "GST" and there will be more coming up so everytime I have to edit the filters keeping track of it.

Due to which I want to apply if condition that department contains "Information Technology" or "GST".

Hello @Ankita Gupte ,

Then try below script 

answer = ifScript();

function ifScript() {
var dept = new GlideRecord('cmn_department');
dept.addQuery('sys_id',current.variables.Department);
dept.query();
if(dept.next())
{
if(dept.name.indexOf("Information Technology") || dept.name.indexOf("GST"))
{
return 'yes';
}
else
{
return 'no';
}
	
}

Please mark my answer correct if it helps you

I used includes instead of indexof and it worked fine.

dept.name.indexOf

Thank You, It helped.

Hi @Ankita Gupte ,

You can do a dot - walking in IF activity instead of scripting.

Please mark my answer correct and helpful if this resolves your query.
