UI action to assign task in a group member

[SimoneA]

Hi everyone,

at the pressing of a button I need to iterate through the group members so that the manager can assign the task at another member group in a circular and alphabetical manner. 'Circular' means assign automatically and following an alphabetical order. I'm now using an UI action, and i can't solve find the right way using the script section, is there someone that could help me?

Hello @SimoneA ,

PFB,

(function() {
    var groupId = 'your_group_id';  // Replace with your group ID

    var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
    gr.addQuery('group', groupId);
    gr.orderBy('user.name');  // Order by user name for alphabetical order
    gr.query();

    var members = [];
    while (gr.next()) {
        members.push(gr.user);
    }
    var lastAssignedMemberId = ''; // Fetch from custom table or state management
    var lastIndex = members.findIndex(member => member.sys_id.toString() === lastAssignedMemberId);
    
    // Calculate the next index in a circular manner
    var nextIndex = (lastIndex + 1) % members.length;
    var nextMember = members[nextIndex];

    // Assign the task to the next member
    var taskRecord = new GlideRecord('task');  // Specify your task table
    if (taskRecord.get('sys_id', 'your_task_id')) {  // Replace 'your_task_id' with the task ID
        taskRecord.assigned_to = nextMember.sys_id;
        taskRecord.update();
    }
    lastAssignedMemberId = nextMember.sys_id.toString();

    gs.addInfoMessage('Task assigned to ' + nextMember.name);
})();
