Javascript updates the date everytime there in an update on the workitem
Hi,
I have a javascript which has to update a field called "Indate" whenever the state moves from New to In Progress or from Testing to Inprogress.
The field should be updated whenever it has the state moved to In progress.
This is my javascript:-
if (currentWorkitem == 'defect' && currentState == requiredState)
{
var today = new Date();
var newDate = today.getTime() + "";
return newDate;
}
else {
return null;
}
I have made Status as a dependent item on the Indate attribute.
The problem that i find is that whenever something is changed on the workitem that is in "In progress" state, the date is updated. The date has to update only when the change is the status change to "In progress" and not on any update that happens on the workitem that is in "In progress" state.
When i check the console logs, the logs are not updated on any change to the workitem, the log is created only when there is a status change, but in the foreground it updates the date everytime.
Can someone tell me why this happens ?

As far as I am aware it is impossible to detect a state change in Javascript. At least I was not able to do it. All you get is the current state. I have no solution for that other than creating a plugin e.g. an OperationAdvisor or OperationParticipant (See Extensions workshop in the libary https://jazz.net/library/article/1000 ).

Does the "Indate" field get populated before you move to the "In Progress" state?
If it is blank before your script populates it, you could have your script check to see if the value is null before setting the value to the current time:
var currentValue = workItem.getValue(attributeId); |
