Hi @snowsid88,

You can achieve this using a background script in System Definition → Scripts – Background. The script below updates all incidents with priority 5, sets them to Resolved, changes priority to 4, and assigns them to the Network group:

(function() {
 
    var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
    gr.addQuery('priority', 5);
    gr.query();

 
    var groupGR = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');
    groupGR.addQuery('name', 'Network');
    groupGR.query();
    if (!groupGR.next()) {
        gs.print('Assignment group "Network" not found!');
        return;
    }
    var networkGroupSysId = groupGR.sys_id.toString();

 
    while (gr.next()) {
        gr.priority = 4;
        gr.assignment_group = networkGroupSysId;
        gr.state = 6; // Resolved
        gr.update();
        gs.print('Updated incident: ' + gr.number);
    }

    gs.print('Script execution completed.');
})();

Thanks & Regards,

Refer below for sample, fine tune the encoded query as per your requirements

var inc_record=new GlideRecord('incident');
inc_record.addEncodedQuery("caller_id=a9b3967483842210ce6dfb96feaad339^priority=5");
inc_record.query();
while(inc_record.next())
{
inc_record.state='6';
inc_record.impact='3';
inc_record.urgency='2';
inc_record.assignment_group='287ebd7da9fe198100f92cc8d1d2154e';
inc_record.close_code='Solution provided';
inc_record.close_notes='Resolved by Background Script';
inc_record.update();
}

Hi @snowsid88

What is your use case here?
The priority is a combination of Impact and Urgency, and the property can be changed directly.

Also, why are you trying to set the Incident to Resolved while changing the priority from 5 to 4? That actually increases the priority, which doesn’t seem valid in this context.

It looks like this may not be a valid use case.

@snowsid88

Is this a valid business requirement or it's for learning purpose?

You are marking INC to Resolve on Degrading the Priority and updating Assignment Group.

But why?
