Business Rule fails when extra field incorporated

Posted on by Jeroen J

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone recognizes this issue.

I've created a Business Rule on our mail account form. Depending on a picklist value it sets a few fields on "business required". If another picklist value is selected, the fields return to their original state "not required".
So far so splendid.

Now, I want to add a new field that must be set to required or not, exactly as the other fields above. After saving and activating the Business Rule, it seems to be doing eeeerm nothing. I remove the new field and it works, put it back and it fails again (I guess, for it doesn't do a thing).

The extra field is a regular option set, nothing weird to be seen.

Any ideas what I'm forgetting here?

Thanks for thinking along.
Best regards,
Jeroen

Hi,

How many conditions you are using in one Business Rule?

Because the number of Else statements in a business rule is limited to 10

Thanks

is the business rule looking at the correct field? Could there be another field with a similar name?

hi,

thanks for your quick respones.

@Ridhima, there are no conditions in the Else statement. It's rather straight forward:

(don't think readability is an issue, it's about the amount of conditions and actions)

@T.I.A, the rule works with these 5 fields on both sides of the ELSE. As soon as I enter a 6th field, it stops processing immediately. Could the 6x2=12 really be an issue? Should I split it up into two rules?

Hi Righima,

I have been testing with your suggestion, and it does narrow down the issue a bit.

I created another rule with only this particular field being required or not depending on the relation type of the account. And it just does not work.
This is my rule:

which means as much as:

IF...THEN
CONDITION
If Relation Type = "Groepsrelatie - geen klant"
ACTION
Set "Verzendwijze" to not required
ELSE
CONDITION
ACTION
Set "Verzendwijze" to required

(I also tried filling in the Else Condition, with same results)

But, it's as if the entire rule isn't there (ofcourse I saved and activated).

Any more ideas?

Regards,

Jeroen

Hi Ridhima (yes!),

The scope of the business rule is Entity.

Solved it!

Took me quite a while, but I found out that the field that's to change (verzendwijze) is not on the form. The field that I wanted to change has 'verzendwijze' as label, but is known as "address2_shippingmethodcode".

Thanks for sticking with me in this quest!

Regards,

Jeroen
