Save preference business rules

[S_bastien Lavoi]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to change a user's language upon an event being created by an external system.

I have the following code in a script action : 

var grUser = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
grUser.addQuery('email', event.parm1);  // find user
grUser.query();

if (grUser.next()) {
	grUser.savePreference('user.language', event.parm2);
}

which works, but the preference does not seem to properly take effect, even if I refresh the page.  I have to log out and log back in for the new value of the preference to work.

Any way I can force a the new value to take effect without the user having to log out and log back in?

Thanks

that's the platform behavior. user will have to logout and login again

try this

var grUser = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
grUser.addQuery('email', event.parm1);  // find user
grUser.query();

if (grUser.next()) {
    grUser.savePreference('user.language', event.parm2);
    gs.getSession().setLanguage(event.parm2);  // Reload the session with the new language

}

Thanks for the answer but this does not seem to work. Since this is coded in a script action and triggered by an even, I'm not sure we can use gs.getSession() as I don't want the current session, but the session of the user who's email is in parm1

I don't think it's doable then
