Edit a workspace item field with a script that runs on a workflow transition

Anonymous — Tue, 17 May 2016 16:03:40 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to edit a field in a workspace with a script running on a workflow transition. The field name ID is FINAL_DISPOSITION and it is a pick list field. The script I have consists of:

item.FINAL_DISPOSITION === 'REMAN [72]'

This is my first time ever writing a script and it doesn't seem to want to work. Could anyone help me out on how to get this script to work?

Thanks

Brandon

Is the picklist in the same workspace and does someone choose the pick list item first before they click on the transistion? The pick list should have a field ID too. I'm think this should work?

item.FINAL_DISPOSITION = item.PICKLIST_FIELDID

Hello,

thanks for the quick reply. The pick list is in the same workspace and someone could chose from the list before the transition has been one. So they could choose the pick list option of "AS IS" but then when we run the workflow and the disposition is overriden and now the final disposition code is "Reman". we would want that final dispostion field to change from AS IS to Reman.

Hope that made sense.

Hi Brandon,

Please tell me if I understand correctly.

First you created in your Workspace the picklist field FINAL_DISPOSITION. This field does not have a "Required" validation set. The picklist entries you have manually entered and are a list of items from another Workspace ("As Is" and "REMAN [72]" have been manually entered by you or your admin).

Similar to this:

Am I correct?

After that your user can create an item and decide to either edit the Final Disposition field or not. Like this:

And on workflow transition, you want to set the Final Disposition field to "REMAN [72]" depending on some rule, right?

In that case the following code is what you are looking for:

item.FINAL_DISPOSITION = "REMAN [72]";

I am curious, when you are saying "REMAN [72]", are you saying that it is the 72th item in the list?

Hi Dany,

You are correct in the pick list field in the workspace is not Required and that the list is a manual list that we made but they are not from another workspace, all of this is happening within the same workspace.

This is the exact flow. A product gets returned to us. The user creates an item in that workspace and by a general look of the product/reading the return reason, they select a disposition code from that pick list we are talking about. Then the product goes through the workflow (different types of product testing) and based on the test results, the user may choose a different final disposition code. This is done as the final step on the workflow. When they decide the final dispostion code, they choose a specific workflow transition and that is where i need the script to be.

The [72] just means the internal warehouse that the product will be transfered to.

The script you gave me worked, thanks.
