isMemberOf not working in notification

[VuchiV]

Requirement is not sending a notification in case approver is part of specific group. Please find the code I used in notification advanced condition which is not working it seems. Even if approver part of group mentioned, it is sending the notification. Notification is on Approval[sysapproval_approver] table.

script: 

answer =  !(current.approver.isMemberOf('b94fa52553920010f255ddeeff7b12c0'));

suggest any changes in code.

ahoy @VuchiV,

I checked and the isMemberOf() seems to necessarily require connection with gs.getUser() as it is returning logged-in user. If you use dot walking as "current.approver..." it doesn't do the trick or it must be written differently.

Tested in my PDI

• Lines 1 to 8 are having hardcoded sys id and return "2" saying that this sys Id is not a member of that group,
• Lines 10 to 15 have the gs.getUser()

Try to extend this for the sys_approver logics.. 

var myID = new GlideRecord("sys_user");
if (myID.get("your_sys_ID"))
gs.print('myID: ' + myID.sys_id);

if (myID.isMemberOf('group_sys_ID')) {
    gs.print('myID is a member');
} else {
    gs.print('myID is NOT a member');
}
gs.print('gs.getUserID: ' + gs.getUserID());
if (gs.getUser().isMemberOf('group_sys_ID')) {
    gs.print('getUserID is a member');
} else {
    gs.print('getUserID NOT a member');
}
