if Condition Workflow Activity

[ShivangiC]

I need to define the 'if ' condition on workflow after the 3rd catalog task, to check if a sample checkbox is checked on the 3rd catalog task or not. Please help me. As every time, the if condition is executing for 'No'.

My script in if condition'-

 answer = checkBox();

   function checkBox() {

    if (current.u_sample_checkbox == true) {

        return 'yes';

     }

    else{

     return 'no';}

  }

My question:- the script in if condition must be server script or client script?. Can we use GlideRecord functionality in if condition?. As my workflow is running on sc_req_item table and if condition must run for sc_task table record

Yes, You can do a GlideRecord.

Assuming u_sample_checkbox is defined on the catalog task and since the workflow runs on sc_req_item table, you cannot use current.u_sample_checkbox.  Trywith below sample code

Ex:

function ifScript() {

var rec = new GlideRecord('sc_task');

rec.addQuery('request_item', current.sys_id);

rec.addQuery('u_sample_checkbox', true);  //Check for sample checkbox variable here

rec.query();

if (rec.hasNext()){

return 'no';

}

return 'yes';

}

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful or correct.

and to call the function should I write--> answer = ifScript(); or

activity.result=ifScript();

[ShivangiC]

Hello,

I didn't checkbox was 'true' i.e. checkbox is checked why are we returning No here. Please explain your code. I wrote your code as :-

activity.result =ifScript();

function ifScript() {

var rec = new GlideRecord('sc_task');

rec.addQuery('request_item', current.sys_id);

rec.query();

if (rec.hasNext()){

    if( rec.u_sample_checkbox == true)  {

    return 'no';}

}

return 'yes';

}

Your provided solution always return 'yes' i.e.  return statement outside if block. Please provide any other solution
