Role required: admin

About this task

You update the ChangeRequestStateModel_normal with the following configuration.

• Add new canMove and moving functions for the Complete state. These functions can return a value of true since there are no special conditions for or extra actions to perform when moving to the Complete state.

• Modify the definition of the existing object for the Implement state to ensure that the next state is Complete.

• Add an object for the Complete state, which defines Review and Closed as the next two states.

  Note: The canMove functions for the transition to these states from Complete checks the Needs review custom field to determine the correct next state.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > System Definition > Script Includes.

2. Open the ChangeRequestStateModel_normal script include and modify the script as follows.

   1. Add the following line at the end of the script include but before the line that starts with type:

      toComplete_moving: function() {
                    return true; 
               },              
      
               toComplete_canMove: function() {      
                     return true;       
               },

   2. Modify the existing implement object to toComplete:

      implement: {
                  nextState: [ "complete" ],
      
                  complete: { 
                      moving: function() {                
                          return this.toComplete_moving(); 
                      },             
      
                      canMove: function() {                
                          return this.toComplete_canMove();            
                      }       
                  },        
      
                  canceled: {  
                      moving: function() {               
                         return this.toCanceled_moving();   
                      },             
      
                      canMove: function() {               
                         return this.toCanceled_canMove(); 
                      }        
                  }    
              },

3. Add the following new state object for complete.

   complete: {
                nextState : [ "review", "closed" ],         
   
                review : {            
                      moving : function() {
                            return this.toReview_moving();            
                      },             
   
                      canMove : function() {              
                             if (this._gr.getValue("u_needs_review") == "Yes")   
                                  return true;                            
   
                             return false;
                      }        
                },                     
   
                closed : {            
                      moving : function() {  
                            return this.toClosed_moving();
                      },             
   
                      canMove : function() {              
                             if (this._gr.getValue("u_needs_review") == "No")
                                  return true;    
   
                     return false;
                     }       
                },  
   
                canceled : { 
                      moving : function() {                
                            return this.toCanceled_moving();     
                      },             
   
                      canMove : function() {                
                             return this.toCanceled_canMove(); 
                      }   
                }    
           },
