Issues with gr.isActionAborted()

[kyrresc]

Hello,

I am having issues with gr.isActionAborted(). Even though my update does NOT go through, gr.isActionAborted() returns false. Weirdly, when logging gr.update(), it returns null... I logged it like this. This code snippet is placed within an if-statement checking that grTask.isValidRecord()

grTask.update();
gs.info("grTask: " + grTask.update());
gs.info("is action aborted?" + grTask.isActionAborted());

Hi,

to verify update happened with no error use this method on gliderecord object

grTask.getLastErrorMessage()

I did a test in background script myself. This works (querying the RITM table directly):

var gr = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');
gr.get('122392db1b7b8c109f79975e0d4bcbc8');
if (gr.isValidRecord()) {
gr.setValue("u_billable_task","");
gr.update();

gs.info(gr.isActionAborted()); //returns true }

While this does not work (similarly to my script...)

var gr = new GlideRecord('task');
gr.get('122392db1b7b8c109f79975e0d4bcbc8');
if (gr.isValidRecord()) {
gr.setValue("u_billable_task","");
gr.update();

gs.info(gr.isActionAborted()); //returns false }

Uhm...?

When querying the sc_req_item directly gr.isActionAborted() actually returns false as expected... i.e. it returns as expected when I query sc_req_item directly and not task. why could that be?

@kyrresc 

As mentioned earlier gr.isActionAborted() only works for before BR and not for any other operation such as query etc

Let me know if I have answered your question.

If so, please mark appropriate response as correct & helpful so that this thread can be closed and others can be benefited by this.

Try using both the checks at once 

var updatedSysId = grTask.update();

var isUpdated = (grTask.isActionAborted()) ? false : (updatedSysId == null) ? false : true;

gs.info("is action performed" +isUpdated);
