If condition in workflow script is not working as expected

[Renu9]

Hi All,

I was comparing 2 reference fields in workflow script as below.

If new_owner is not the same as the one who is requested the item. Then, new owner should receive an approval request. If not , then it has to auto approve.

This script is written in IF condition block:

var newowner = current.variables.new_owner;
var reqfor = current.variables.requested_for;
answer = ifScript();

function ifScript() {
if (newowner != reqfor) {
return 'yes';
}
return 'no';
}

Even though newowner is not same as reqfor, it is going to Yes part. But it has to go to No. 

Please help me in resolving this.

you should not use apostrophe(' ')

use this : answer.push(current.variables.new_owner)
