ServiceNow on hold change issue with approvals

ServiceNow ref:

Place a change on hold

Issue:

1. Create a change request and progress until it reaches the approval stage
2. Put the change on hold by selecting on-hold checkbox and update on-hold reason.
3. Check approval records updated to 'No longer Required'
4. Uncheck the on-hold check box and save the change request
5. Approval requests are reinstated to 'Requested'
6. Check the workflow, it finishes at the approval activity.

Resolution:

Try adding the activities replicating the OOB change request workflow to make the workflow works as expected. Also please note that deactivate any custom business rules or custom script you are using to handle the approvals on the change requests. 


so in other words add this block:

ServiceNow check for null or nil or empty (or not)

Haven't tested these all recently within global/local scopes, so feel free to have a play! option 1 use an encoded query embedded in the GlideRecord , e.g.  var grProf = new GlideRecord ( 'x_cls_clear_skye_i_profile' ); grProf . addQuery ( 'status=1^ owner=NULL ' ); grProf . query (); even better use the glideRecord  addNotNullQuery or addNullQuery option 2 JSUtil.nil / notNil (this might be the most powerful. See this link ) example: if ( current . operation () == 'insert' && JSUtil . notNil ( current . parent ) && ! current . work_effort . nil ())  option 3 there might be times when you need to get inside the GlideRecord and perform the check there, for example if the code goes down 2 optional routes depending on null / not null can use gs.nil : var grAppr = new GlideRecord ( 'sysapproval_approver' ); var grUser = new GlideRecord ( 'sys_user' ); if ( grUser . get ( 'sys_id' , current . approver )){
