Remove item from a list collector

mballinger · ‎02-02-2022

Hello,

How can I remove 2 items from a list collector? Every record will have multiple items in the list collector.

This is what I have and it is not working:

var gr = new GlideRecord("incident");
gr.addEncodedQuery("u_userLIKEd5f94d1487b9b0d0d2c7c9d6cebb355a^ORu_userLIKE3c23dcaa871a34d4d2c7c9d6cebb353d");
gr.setLimit(1);
gr.query();
while (gr.next()) {
    var users = gr.u_user.toString();	
    var usersArr = users.split(",");
    gs.print("List End: " + usersArr);

    if (usersArr.includes("d5f94d1487b9b0d0d2c7c9d6cebb355a")) {
        usersArr.splice("d5f94d1487b9b0d0d2c7c9d6cebb355a");
    }

    if (usersArr.includes("3c23dcaa871a34d4d2c7c9d6cebb353d")) {
        usersArr.splice("3c23dcaa871a34d4d2c7c9d6cebb353d");
    }

    gs.print("List End: " + usersArr);
}

Thanks!

Hi,

Can you give more information as to how it is not working?

Are you seeing errors?

With that said, you can try using:

var gr = new GlideRecord("incident");
gr.addEncodedQuery("u_userLIKEd5f94d1487b9b0d0d2c7c9d6cebb355a^ORu_userLIKE3c23dcaa871a34d4d2c7c9d6cebb353d");
gr.setLimit(1); //if you're limiting it to one, why use while loop? unless you're just testing with one...
gr.query();
while (gr.next()) {
    var users = gr.getValue('u_user');	
    var usersArr = users.split(",");
    gs.print("List End: " + usersArr);
var index1 = usersArr.indexOf("d5f94d1487b9b0d0d2c7c9d6cebb355a");
var index2 = usersArr.indexOf("3c23dcaa871a34d4d2c7c9d6cebb353d");

    if (index1 > -1) {
        usersArr.splice(index1, 1);
    }

    if (index2 > -1) {
        usersArr.splice(index2, 1);
    }

    gs.print("List End: " + usersArr);
}

There's a few ways to do this, but the above would be one.
