Parameters
| objectRef |
A reference to the business object instance to which the two quick actions apply. NOTE: This built-in function will be deprecated in a future release because of the unusual way in which it handles this first parameter.
This parameter behaves differently than any other function parameter. It looks like an expression, but it is not. This built-in function is the only one that uses this syntax.
The value for this parameter must always be inside quotes. This parameter is a string in this form: '$(Parent(RelationshipReference)' where the relationship reference is of the form BusinessObjectName#.InternalReferenceName. However, the function ignores the InternalReferenceName value and only looks for the parent of the BusinessObjectName#. |
| prompt | The text of the prompt. This should be a question that can be answered yes or no. |
| yesAction |
The name of the quick action to execute if the answer is yes.
NOTE: If more than one quick action with this name exists tenant-wide, the function call fails. |
| noAction |
The name of the quick action to execute if the answer is no.
NOTE: If more than one quick action with this name exists tenant-wide, the function call fails. |
Return Value
Boolean value. Returns true or false if there is no such business object.
Example
$(PromptAndExecuteAction( '$(Parent(Incident#.Rev3))', 'Task belongs to an incident with no other unfinished tasks. Select [Yes] to set incident to resolved, select [No] to create a new task, or select [Cancel] to cancel the task and save the operation.', 'Resolve Incident', 'New TaskAssignment'))
