Using Customer Request Type in Behaviour

[Russell Stadler]

What's the "right" way to determine the current request type form being used for the purpose of a dynamic behaviour?  

For example, I have two Request Types that both have the same underlying Select List (Single) field on them, but I want to show different options in that field based on the Request Type being used.  

Is this exposed somewhere easy to use?  I was about to do something weird with trying to look at the URL and go by the ID number after "create/" in the URL but this seems bad.

Hi this suggestion worked for me if (getRequestTypeName() == 'IT Help')

hope this helps!

Would you be able to provide an example of how you scripted this?

I am wanting to limit the Resolutions based on the Customer Request Type.

Thanks

@Mazen AKIKI _Infosysta_ - this suggestion is the way to go! Thanks for posting this.

@David Harkins - answering your question for others who might be curious: 

if (getRequestTypeName() == 'Request Type Form Name #1') {

  your ScriptRunner logic here

}

if (getRequestTypeName() == 'Request Type Form Name #2') {

  your ScriptRunner logic here

}

Hey, Russell.

Did you ever find a way to do this in 1 script instead of having a script per request type? I'm trying to implement a similar setup.

[Russell Stadler]

Well, the ugly workaround I've proceeded with for now was to define separate behaviours, each with its own unique initialiser, and simply map each request type to a different behaviour. 

This yields the desired effect, albeit in a painful to maintain way.

I'm having a similar problem as well. Behaviours doesn't show the newly created Customer Request Type. I've already done a reindex and still it won't show the new Customer Request Types.
